    Abstract:

    State explosion problem is the main obstacle of model checking. This problem is addressed in the paper from a coalgebraic point of view. By coninduction principle, the paper proves that: (1) Given any class of Kripke Structures (denoted by K), there exists a unique smallest Kripke structure (denoted by K0) with respect to bisimilarity which describes all behaviors of the Kripke structures with no redundancy. (2) For any Kripke Structure MK (the state space of M may be infinite), there exists a unique concrete smallest Kripke structure KM. Base on this idea, an algorithm is established for minimization of Kripke Structures. A naive implementation of this algorithm is developed in Ocaml. One of its applications is that instead of M, KM can be used with a smaller state space to verify properties for M in the process of Model Checking.
