Reachability in Symmetric VASS

Authors: Łukasz Kamiński and Sławomir Lasota

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 345, 50th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2025)

Abstract

We investigate the reachability problem in symmetric vector addition systems with states (vass), where transitions are invariant under a group of permutations of coordinates. One extremal case, the trivial groups, yields general vass. In another extremal case, the symmetric groups, we show that the reachability problem can be solved in PSpace, regardless of the dimension of input vass (to be contrasted with Ackermannian complexity in general vass). We also consider other groups, in particular alternating and cyclic ones. Furthermore, motivated by the open status of the reachability problem in data vass, we estimate the gain in complexity when the group arises as a combination of the trivial and symmetric groups.

Bi-Reachability in Petri Nets with Data

Authors: Łukasz Kamiński and Sławomir Lasota

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 311, 35th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2024)

Abstract

We investigate Petri nets with data, an extension of plain Petri nets where tokens carry values from an infinite data domain, and executability of transitions is conditioned by equalities between data values. We provide a decision procedure for the bi-reachability problem: given a Petri net and its two configurations, we ask if each of the configurations is reachable from the other. This pushes forward the decidability borderline, as the bi-reachability problem subsumes the coverability problem (which is known to be decidable) and is subsumed by the reachability problem (whose decidability status is unknown).
