Abstract
In particular, we have developed the fastest known CTMC lumping algorithm with the running time of O (m log n), where n and m are the number of states and non-zero entries of the generator matrix of the CTMC, respectively. We have also combined the use of symbolic data structures with state-lumping techniques to develop an efficient symbolic state-space exploration algorithm for state-sharing composed models that exploits lumpings that are due to equally behaving components. Finally, we have developed a new compositional algorithm that lumps CTMCs represented as MDs. Unlike other compositional lumping algorithms, our algorithm does not require any knowledge of the modeling formalisms from which the MDs were generated. Our approach relies on local conditions, i.e., conditions on individual nodes of the MD.
