Representing One Letter Weighted Automata Over the Tropical Semiring

Shaull Almagor, Ismaël Jecker, Filip Mazowiecki +3

We consider weighted automata over the tropical semiring . Recently, it was shown that determinisation is decidable; in this paper we focus on the comple…

Reachability in VASS Extended with Integer Counters

Clotilde Bizière, Wojciech Czerwiński, Roland Guttenberg +5

We consider a variant of VASS extended with integer counters, denoted VASS+Z. These are automata equipped with N and Z counters; the N-counters are required to remain nonnegative a…

Exploring VASS Parameterised by Geometric Dimension

Wojciech Czerwiński, Roland Guttenberg, Łukasz Orlikowski +2

The geometric dimension of a Vector Addition System with States (VASS) is the dimension of the vector space generated by cycles in the VASS; this parameter refines the standard…

History-Constrained Systems

Louwe B. Kuijer, David Purser, Henry Sinclair-Banks +1

We study verification problems for history-constrained systems (HCS), a model of guarded computation that uses nested systems. An outer system describes the process architecture in…

A Note on the Parameterised Complexity of Coverability in Vector Addition Systems

Michał Pilipczuk, Sylvain Schmitz, Henry Sinclair-Banks

We investigate the parameterised complexity of the classic coverability problem for vector addition systems (VAS): given a finite set of vectors , an initi…

A Complexity Dichotomy for Semilinear Target Sets in Automata with One Counter

Yousef Shakiba, Henry Sinclair-Banks, Georg Zetzsche

In many kinds of infinite-state systems, the coverability problem has significantly lower complexity than the reachability problem. In order to delineate the border of computationa…

The Tractability Border of Reachability in Simple Vector Addition Systems with States

Dmitry Chistikov, Wojciech Czerwiński, Filip Mazowiecki +3

Vector Addition Systems with States (VASS), equivalent to Petri nets, are a well-established model of concurrency. The central algorithmic challenge in VASS is the reachability pro…

Invariants for One-Counter Automata with Disequality Tests

Dmitry Chistikov, Jérôme Leroux, Henry Sinclair-Banks +1

We study the reachability problem for one-counter automata in which transitions can carry disequality tests. A disequality test is a guard that prohibits a specified counter value.…

Acyclic Petri and Workflow Nets with Resets

Dmitry Chistikov, Wojciech Czerwiński, Piotr Hofman +2

In this paper we propose two new subclasses of Petri nets with resets, for which the reachability and coverability problems become tractable. Namely, we add an acyclicity condition…

Dimension-Minimality and Primality of Counter Nets

Shaull Almagor, Guy Avni, Henry Sinclair-Banks +1

A -Counter Net (-CN) is a finite-state automaton equipped with integer counters that are not allowed to become negative, but do not have explicit zero tests. This languag…

Coverability in VASS Revisited: Improving Rackoff's Bound to Obtain Conditional Optimality

Marvin Künnemann, Filip Mazowiecki, Lia Schütze +2

Seminal results establish that the coverability problem for Vector Addition Systems with States (VASS) is in EXPSPACE (Rackoff, '78) and is EXPSPACE-hard already under unary encodi…

Coverability in 2-VASS with One Unary Counter is in NP

Filip Mazowiecki, Henry Sinclair-Banks, Karol Węgrzycki

Coverability in Petri nets finds applications in verification of safety properties of reactive systems. We study coverability in the equivalent model: Vector Addition Systems with…
