In this paper, we study the problem of non-blockingness verification by tapping into the basis reachability graph (BRG). Non-blockingness is a property that ensures that all pre-specified tasks can be completed, which is a mandatory requirement during the system design stage. In this paper we develop a condition of transition partition of a given net such that the corresponding conflict-increase BRG contains sufficient information on verifying non-blockingness of its corresponding Petri net. Thanks to the compactness of the BRG, our approach possesses practical efficiency since the exhaustive enumeration of the state space can be avoided. In particular, our method does not require that the net is deadlock-free.

This paper proposes a semi-structural approach to verify the nonblockingness of a Petri net. We construct a structure, called minimax basis reachability graph (minimax-BRG): it provides an abstract description of the reachability set of a net while p reserving all information needed to test if the net is blocking. We prove that a bounded deadlock-free Petri net is nonblocking if and only if its minimax-BRG is unobstructed, which can be verified by solving a set of integer constraints and then examining the minimax-BRG. For Petri nets that are not deadlock-free, one needs to determine the set of deadlock markings. This can be done with an approach based on the computation of maximal implicit firing sequences enabled by the markings in the minimax-BRG. The approach we developed does not require the construction of the reachability graph and has wide applicability.
Interval approaches for the reachability analysis of initial value problems for sets of classical ordinary differential equations have been investigated and implemented by many researchers during the last decades. However, there exist numerous applic ations in computational science and engineering, where continuous-time system dynamics cannot be described adequately by integer-order differential equations. Especially in cases in which long-term memory effects are observed, fractional-order system representations are promising to describe the dynamics, on the one hand, with sufficient accuracy and, on the other hand, to limit the number of required state variables and parameters to a reasonable amount. Real-life applications for such fractional-order models can, among others, be found in the field of electrochemistry, where methods for impedance spectroscopy are typically used to identify fractional-order models for the charging/discharging behavior of batteries or for the dynamic relation between voltage and current in fuel cell systems if operated in a non-stationary state. This paper aims at presenting an iterative method for reachability analysis of fractional-order systems that is based on an interval arithmetic extension of Mittag-Leffler functions. An illustrating example, inspired by a low-order model of battery systems concludes this contribution.
Petri nets, also known as vector addition systems, are a long established model of concurrency with extensive applications in modelling and analysis of hardware, software and database systems, as well as chemical, biological and business processes. T he central algorithmic problem for Petri nets is reachability: whether from the given initial configuration there exists a sequence of valid execution steps that reaches the given final configuration. The complexity of the problem has remained unsettled since the 1960s, and it is one of the most prominent open questions in the theory of verification. Decidability was proved by Mayr in his seminal STOC 1981 work, and the currently best published upper bound is non-primitive recursive Ackermannian of Leroux and Schmitz from LICS 2019. We establish a non-elementary lower bound, i.e. that the reachability problem needs a tower of exponentials of time and space. Until this work, the best lower bound has been exponential space, due to Lipton in 1976. The new lower bound is a major breakthrough for several reasons. Firstly, it shows that the reachability problem is much harder than the coverability (i.e., state reachability) problem, which is also ubiquitous but has been known to be complete for exponential space since the late 1970s. Secondly, it implies that a plethora of problems from formal languages, logic, concurrent systems, process calculi and other areas, that are known to admit reductions from the Petri nets reachability problem, are also not elementary. Thirdly, it makes obsolete the currently best lower bounds for the reachability problems for two key extensions of Petri nets: with branching and with a pushdown stack.
In this paper, a sample-based procedure for obtaining simple and computable approximations of chance-constrained sets is proposed. The procedure allows to control the complexity of the approximating set, by defining families of simple-approximating s ets of given complexity. A probabilistic scaling procedure then allows to rescale these sets to obtain the desired probabilistic guarantees. The proposed approach is shown to be applicable in several problem in systems and control, such as the design of Stochastic Model Predictive Control schemes or the solution of probabilistic set membership estimation problems.
We investigate the decidability and complexity status of model-checking problems on unlabelled reachability graphs of Petri nets by considering first-order and modal languages without labels on transitions or atomic propositions on markings. We consi der several parameters to separate decidable problems from undecidable ones. Not only are we able to provide precise borders and a systematic analysis, but we also demonstrate the robustness of our proof techniques.
