We present a framework for abstracting two-player turn-based games that preserves any formula of the alternating /spl mu/-calculus (AMC). Unlike traditional conservative abstractions which can only prove the existence of winning strategies for only one of the players, our framework is based on 3-valued games, and it can be used to prove and disprove formulas of AMC including arbitrarily nested strategy quantifiers. Our main contributions are as follows. We define abstract 3-valued games and an alternating refinement relation on these that preserves winning strategies for both players. We provide a logical characterization of the alternating refinement relation. We show that our abstractions are as precise as can be via completeness results. We present AMC formulas that solve 3-valued games with /spl omega/-regular objectives, and we show that such games are determined in a 3-valued sense. We also discuss the complexity of model checking arbitrary AMC formulas on 3-valued games and of checking alternating refinement.
