Abstract

An Fd\mathsf{F}_{d} upper bound for the reachability problem in vector addition systems with states (VASS) in fixed dimension is given, where Fd\mathsf{F}_d is the dd-th level of the Grzegorczyk hierarchy of complexity classes. The new algorithm combines the idea of the linear path scheme characterization of the reachability in the 22-dimension VASSes with the general decomposition algorithm by Mayr, Kosaraju and Lambert. The result improves the Fd+4\mathsf{F}_{d + 4} upper bound due to Leroux and Schmitz (LICS 2019).
