Linear Programming-based Computation of Petri Net Invariants with Supports Containing Specified Places
Atsushi Iriboshi, Satoshi Taoka, Toshimasa Watanabe (Hiroshima Univ.)
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) A $P$-invariant of a Petri net $ N = (P,T,E,\alpha,\beta) $ is a
$|P|$-dimensional vector $Y$ with $Y^{tr}\cdot A = \bar{0}$ for the
place-transition incidence matrix $A$ of $N$.
The Fourier-Motzkin method is well-known for computing all
such invariants. This method, however, has a critical deficiency such
that , even if a give Petri net $N$ has any invariant, it is likely
that no invariants are output because of memory overflow in storing
intermediary vectors as candidates for invariants.
On the other hand, a linear programming-based method
produces all or a few minimal support invariants one by one.
Major improvements required for this method are speeding up and
avoiding computational errors. In this paper, we propose a linear programming-based algorithm for the computation of minimal support invariants with supports containing specified places. It is shown, through
experimental results, that this algorithm can be effective and is worth
investigating.
