Simulation Problems Over One-Counter Nets
arXiv:1602.00476 · doi:10.2168/LMCS-12(1:6)2016
Abstract
One-counter nets (OCN) are finite automata equipped with a counter that can store non-negative integer values, and that cannot be tested for zero. Equivalently, these are exactly 1-dimensional vector addition systems with states. We show that both strong and weak simulation preorder on OCN are PSPACE-complete.
