Synthesis for a type τ of Petri nets is the following search problem: For a transition system A, find a Petri net N of type τ whose state graph is isomorphic to A, if there is one. To determine the computational complexity of synthesis for types of bounded Petri nets we investigate their corresponding decision version, called feasibility. We show that feasibility is NP-complete for (pure) b-bounded P/T-nets if b ∈ N + . We extend (pure) b-bounded P/T-nets by the additive group Z b+1 of integers modulo (b + 1) and show feasibility to be NP-complete for the resulting type. To decide if A has the event state separation property is shown to be NP-complete for (pure) b-bounded and group extended (pure) bbounded P/T-nets. Deciding if A has the state separation property is proven to be NP-complete for (pure) b-bounded P/T-nets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
