Abstract

Given two families of sets F\mathcal{F} and G\mathcal{G}, the F\mathcal{F} separability problem for G\mathcal{G} asks whether for two given sets U,VGU, V \in \mathcal{G} there exists a set SFS \in \mathcal{F}, such that UU is included in SS and VV is disjoint with SS. We consider two families of sets F\mathcal{F}: modular sets SNdS \subseteq \mathbb{N}^d, defined as unions of equivalence classes modulo some natural number nNn \in \mathbb{N}, and unary sets. Our main result is decidability of modular and unary separability for the class G\mathcal{G} of reachability sets of Vector Addition Systems, Petri Nets, Vector Addition Systems with States, and for sections thereof.
