Abstract

Non-reachability proofs in Timed Petrinets were usually done by proving the non-reachability within the underlying timeless net. However, in many cases this approach fails. In this paper, we present an approach to prove non-reachability within the actual Timed Petrinet. For this purpose, we introduce a state equation for Timed Petrinets in analogy to timeless nets. Using this state equation, we can express reachability as a system of equations and inequations, which is solvable in polynomial time.
