“…On the practical side, many benchmarks (especially from paramterized systems) have indicated this to be the case, e.g., see [36,17,34,30,37,3,44,38,24,33]. On the theoretical side, this framework is in fact complete for important properties like safety and liveness for many classes of infinite-state systems that can be captured by regular model checking, including pushdown systems, reversal-bounded counter systems, two-dimensional vector addition systems, communication-free Petri nets, and tree-rewrite systems (for the extension to trees), among others, e.g., see [41,42,7,32,23,35]. In addition, the restriction to regular proofs is also attractive since it gives rise to a simple method to enumerate all regular proofs that check ϕ.…”
