Received 2 October 2008.

In this article, we compare models for many-valued probabilistic reasoning from the point of view of the sets of satisfiable formulas, positive satisfiable formulas, and tautologies. The results arising from this comparison will be used in the final part of the present article to provide results about the computational complexity for the problem of deciding if a formula belongs to one of the previously discussed sets.

Keywords: SMV-algebras; states on MV-algebras; probabilistic Kripke models; PSPACE containment
