Abstract

The present paper proves that a Sleptsov net (SN) is Turing-complete, that considerably improves, with a brief construct, the previous result that a strong SN is Turing-complete. Remind that, unlike Petri nets, an SN always fires enabled transitions at their maximal firing multiplicity, as a single step, leaving for a nondeterministic choice of which fireable transitions to fire. A strong SN restricts nondeterministic choice to firing only the transitions having the highest firing multiplicity.
