Abstract

Non-reachability proofs in Timed Petrinets were usually done by proving the nonreachability 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.
