In pLTL, the until-modality is equipped with a bound that contains variables; e.g., $\Diamond _{\leqslant x}\ \varphi$ asserts that ϕ holds within x time steps, where x is a variable on natural numbers. The central problem studied in this paper is to determine the set of parameter valuations V ≺ p (ϕ) for which the probability to satisfy pLTL-formula ϕ in a Markov chain meets a given threshold ≺ p, where ≺ is a comparison on reals and p a probability. As for pLTL determining the emptiness of V> 0(ϕ) is undecidable, we consider several logic fragments. We consider parametric reachability properties, a sub-logic of pLTL restricted to next and $\Diamond _{\leqslant x}$, parametric Büchi properties and finally, a maximal subclass of pLTL for which emptiness of V> 0(ϕ) is decidable. %G English %Z TC 1 %Z TC 2 %Z WG 2.2 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01402042/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01402042/file/978-3-662-44602-7_17_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01402042 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01402042 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC2 %~ IFIP-LNCS-8705 %~ IFIP-TCS %~ IFIP-WG2-2
