Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A necessary and sufficient condition on the general Petri net reachability problem is presented by eliminating all spurious solutions among nonnegative integer solutions of state equation. This result is based on the decomposition of a given net and the concepts of "no immature siphon at the original or reduced initial marking" and "no immature trap at the original or reduced end marking" which are both extended from "no token-free siphon at the initial marking" and "no token-free trap at the end marking," respectively, which have been both effectively, explicitly or implicitly, used in the well-known fundamental and simple subclasses. Reach-ability analysis is one of the most fundamental problems among analysis problems of discrete event systems. It has been shown that the reachability problem is decidable although it, takes at least exponential space and time to verify in the general case. The reachability criterion obtained in this paper of course includes, as the special cases, the most wider subclasses with easier decidable and known reachability criteria such as NOT-nets and NOP-nets (both nets are subclasses of free choice nets).
