Abstract
This article proposes a semi-structural approach to verify the nonblockingness of a Petri net. We construct a structure, called minimal-maximal basis reachability graph (min-max-BRG): it provides an abstract description of the reachability set of a net while preserving 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 min-max-BRG is unobstructed, which can be verified by solving a set of integer constraints and then examining the min-max-BRG. For Petri nets that are not deadlock-free, one needs to determine the set of dead markings. This can be done with an approach based on the computation of maximal implicit firing sequences enabled by the markings in the min-max-BRG. The approach we developed does not require the construction of the reachability graph and has wide applicability.File | Size | Format | |
