Abstract
We study the possibility of extending the Rackoff technique to Affine nets, which are Petri nets extended with affine functions. The Rackoff technique has been used for establishing EXPSPACE upper bounds for the coverability and boundedness problems for Petri nets.
We show that this technique can be extended to strongly increasing Affine nets, obtaining better upper bounds compared to known results.
The possible copies between places of a strongly increasing Affine net make this extension non-trivial. One cannot expect similar results for the entire class of Affine nets since coverability is Ackermann-hard and boundedness is undecidable. Moreover, it can be proved that model checking a logic expressing generalized coverability properties is undecidable for strongly increasing Affine nets, while it is known to be EXPSPACE-complete for Petri nets.
