Abstract: The paper explores properties of the {L}ukasiewicz {mu}-calculus, or {L}{mu} for short, an extension of {L}ukasiewicz logic with scalar multiplication and least and greatest fixed-point operators (for monotone formulas). We observe that {L}{mu} terms, with n variables, define monotone piecewise linear functions from [0,1]n to [0,1]. Two effective procedures for calculating the output of {L}{mu} terms on rational inputs are presented. We then consider the {L}ukasiewicz modal {mu}-calculus, which is obtained by adding box and diamond modalities to {L}{mu}. Alternatively, it can be viewed as a generalization of Kozen's modal {mu}-calculus adapted to probabilistic nondeterministic transition systems (PNTS's). We show how properties expressible in the well-known logic PCTL can be encoded as {L}ukasiewicz modal {mu}-calculus formulas. We also show that the algorithms for computing values of {L}ukasiewicz {mu}-calculus terms provide automatic (albeit impractical) methods for verifying {L}ukasiewicz modal {mu}-calculus properties of finite rational PNTS's.
