Safety in MDPs (Model-Checking Problem)

Description

Given a model of a system and an objective, the model-checking problem asks whether the model satisfies the objective.

In this case, the model is a Markov Decision Process (MDP), and the objective is safety: given a set of target vertices $T\subseteq V$, determine whether there is an infinite path that does not visit any vertex in $T$ (i.e. you want to avoid all vertices in $T$).
