Combinatorial dynamical system theory: General framework and controllability criteria

New controllability condition for siphons in a class of generalised Petri nets

“…A net is said to be completely controllable if any marking is reachable from any other marking [42]. Although our system can link at a conceptual level the controllability of Petri nets with that of dynamic systems [43,44], there is difference between the concept in dynamic systems and that of siphons in Petri nets. This paper talks about the controllability of siphons.…”
