Abstract(in English) The Legal Firing Sequence Problem of Petri nets(LFS for short) is defined by. "Given a Petri net, an initial marking M and a firing count vector X(with each component X(t) denoting the prescribed total firing number of a transition t), find a firing sequenceδ in which each transition t appears exactly X(t) times in δ. It is known that LFS is NP-complete and that LFS restricted to a state machine can be solved in O(|X|) time. First, we prove that LFS for weighted state machines with two kinds of edge weights is NP-complete, where the term "weighted" means that some edge weights may be greater than 1. Secibdly, we show that the Eulerian LFS for a similar state machine can be polynomially solvable if a state machine has a structure called a necklace.
