In general, boundedness is a “good thing”.
It is essential if the system is to be realized with finite memory.
It allows the system to be analyzed as a finite-state machine.
Boundedness

Proof Strategy
Let (v, A) be a VAS.
w Zk is called
i-bounded if w(j) 0 1 j i
i-r bounded if 0 w(j) r
Let p=w1, w2, … , wm be a seq. s.t. wi Nk i-bounded (i-r bounded ) if every
member of p is i-bounded (i-r bounded ) self-covering if j, wm > wj
i-loop if wm(j)= w1(j), 1 j i

Proof (Cont’d)
m’(i, v): the length of the shortest i-bounded self-covering path in (v, A); =0 if no such path exists.
g(i) = max { m’(i,v): v Nk }
Lemma [Borosh, Treybis’76]: Matrices B and b are of dim. d1 d2 and d1 1, resp.
If Equation B v b has an integer solution, then a small witness with v(i) dcd1,
d d2, absolute values of integers in B and b.

Proof (Cont’d)
Lemma: i-r bounded self-covering path in (v,A) a `short one’ of length , c -- constant independent of n, v, r (n is the size of (v,A))
(proof) Let v1, v2, … , vm0 w1, w2, … , wm1 be a minimal
length i-r bounded self-covering path.
Claim 1: m0 r k ; otherwise, can cut it short by removing repetitions.
Now consider self-covering path w1, w2, … , wm1

Proof (Cont’d)
l1, l2, …, lp – i-loops, each of which is of absolute value 2nrk (rk : max. length; 2n : max. + or – on a coordinate)
At most (2(2nrk)+1)k distinct loop values The length of s is (rk+1)2
The bound stated in the lemma is then obtained by setting up an equation B v b such that v(i) represents the number of times loop li is used (Matrix B: loop values; b: the value of s)

Complexity of Boundedness
Theorem [Rackoff’78] The boundedness problem for VAS can be decided in NSPACE(2cn log n ).
(Proof) g(0) 2 (trivial) ; g(i+1) (2ng(i))
Case 1: (i+1)- (2ng(i)) bounded s.c. path. By the previous lemma, the bound holds
Case 2: otherwise.
cn cn
v1 vh vmFirst time (i+1)-th place not (2ng(i)) bounded
s.c. path length g(i)
always 0; hence,
i+1 bounded

Proof Cont’d
By solving g(i+1) (2ng(i)) ,the length of the
shortest witness 22cn log n , yielding
NSPACE(2cn log n ) complexity bound using a
nondeterministic search procedure.

[Rosier and Yen, JCSS’86] applies a multi-parameter analysis, yielding
NSPACE(2ck ( l + log n) ) for k-dim n-state VASS with largest integer rep. in l bits.

Question: Knowing S to be upward-closed, can its minimal elements be computed?

Equivalence is Undecidable(Hack, TCS’75)
Hilbert’s 10th Problem: Deciding whether an integer solution exists for a Diophantine equation
(e.g., 3x2y5-4xyz+2x6y3z2t=0) is undecidable. Hilbert’s 10th problem Polynomial graph inclusion problem Subset problem for PN reachability
sets PN Equivalence problem
Key: PN can weakly compute polynomial in the sense that value computed by PN polynomial value
Bisimulation equivalence is also undecidable (Jancar, TCS’95)
![Page 25: PART 3: Complexity Analysis of Petri Net Problems](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf7b1a28abf838c836c7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Undecidability of Containment (and Equivalence)
Reduce from Hilbert’s 10th problem:
Given a Diophantine equation P(x1, …, xn), deciding whether P(x1, …, xn)=0 has integer solutions – undecidable (Matijasevic, 1970)
Def: G(P)={ (x1, …, xn, y) | y P(x1, …, xn) with 0 x1, …, xn, y}
The polynomial inclusion problem (G(A) G(B)?) is undecidable, given two Diophantine polynomials A and B.

Hack’s Proof (Figures from [Peterson’81] )
1. t1 first fires, moving one token from px to p2
2. t3 copies y tokens from py to p3 and y tokens into output
3. t2 fires, putting the token in p2 back to p1
4. t4 copies y from p3 back into py
Key: Petri nets can weakly compute polynomials.

Presburger arithmetic is the first-order theory of the natural numbers with addition alone (N,+, =, <, 0, 1).
∀ x ∀ y : ( ( ∃ z : x + z = y + 1) ( ⇒ ∀ z : ¬ (((1 + y) + 1) + z = x) ) )
x>y can be expressed as R(x,y)= ( ∃ z : x = y + z + 1)
There is an algorithm which decides for any given statement in Presburger arithmetic whether it is true or not (Presburger 1929).

BPP-nets A BPP-net (also known as communication-free PN) is
a Petri net in which each transition has exactly one input place, and the firing of a transition removes exactly one token from its input place.

Previous work on reachability and equivalence for BPP-nets
Huynh(I&C’83) showed the uniform word problem for commutative context-free grammars to be solvable in NP. (The proof is rather involved.)
Esparza(FCT’95) showed the reachability problem for BPP-nets to be solvable in NP, using the concept of siphon. (This work provides a simpler proof for Huynh’s result.)
Esparza(FCT’95) derived a decidability result for the equivalence problem for BPP-nets; however, no complexity analysis was given.

Previous work on reachability and equivalence for BPP-nets
In (Yen, TCS’97), yet another NP algorithm, based on integer linear programming, for the reachability problem for BPP-nets is given. The new approach allows us to analyze the size of the semilinear set representation of a BPP-net, yielding a complexity bound for the equivalence problem.

CTL Model Checking
Undecidability: Given an unlabelled Petri net N and a
formula of state-based CTL there is a labelled net N’ and a formula ’ of action-based CTL such that N satisfies if and only if N’ satisfies ’.
As in the 1-safe case, the model-checking algorithm is based on automata theory:

Fair Nontermination Problem
The fair nontermination problem with respect to T1(T1’, T2, T2’, T3, T3’, respectively) fairness is the problem of determining whether a given Petri net has an infinite type T1(T1’, T2, T2’, T3, T3’, respectively) fair computation.

The fair nontermination problem with respect to T1 (T1’, T2, T2’, T3, T3’ )are equivalent to the boundedness problem.

Liveness (Cont’d)
Liveness sub-marking reachability[Hack’74] Transition t is live iff there is a finite set
of markings (extended with ) Dt such that no marking in Dt is reachable.
(Proof Idea) Marking is t-dead if t does not appear in the reachability tree rooted at
Dt: the set of t-dead markings, is a downward-closed set which has a finite number of maximum elements.

Self-Stabilizing Systems S is self-stabilizing if for each configuration
c, none of the computations emanating from c is non-ss.
The self-stabilization problem:
Given a system S, is S self-stabilizing? In our work, we are concerned with
infinite-state systems
i.e., systems with an infinite number of configurations.

general Petri nets remains open.

Subclasses of Petri Nets (1) Ordinary PNs
– all arc weights are 1’s– same modeling power as general PN, more
convenient for analysis but less efficient State machine
– each transition has exactly one input place and exactly one output place
Marked graph– each place has exactly one input transition and
exactly one output transition
![Page 111: PART 3: Complexity Analysis of Petri Net Problems](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf7b1a28abf838c836c7/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
Subclasses of Petri Nets (2) Free-choice
– every outgoing arc from a place is either unique or is a unique incoming arc to a transition
Extended free-choice– if two places have some common output
transition, then they have all their output transitions in common
Asymmetric choice (or simple)– if two places have some common output
transition, then one of them has all the output transitions of the other (and possibly more)

Decidability and Complexity of Petri Net Problems
Rule of thumb 1: All questions about the behaviour of 1-safe Petri nets are PSPACE-hard.
Rule of thumb 2: Nearly all questions about the behaviour of 1-safe Petri nets can be solved in polynomial space.
Rule of thumb 3: Equivalence problems for 1-safe Petri nets are harder to solve than model checking problems. They need at most exponential space.
Rule of thumb 4: Most questions about the behaviour of acyclic 1-safe Petri nets are NP-hard.

Decidability and Complexity of Petri Net problems
Rule of thumb 5: Many questions about 1-safe conflict free Petri nets are solvable in polynomial time. Some questions about live 1-safe free-choice Petri nets are solvable in polynomial time (and liveness of 1-safe free-choice Petri nets is decidable in polynomial time too).Almost no questions for 1-safe net classes substantially larger than free-choice Petri nets are solvable in polynomial time.
