For a fixed type of Petri nets $\tau$, \textsc{$\tau$-Synthesis} is the task of finding for a given transition system $A$ a Petri net $N$ of type $\tau$ ($\tau$-net, for short) whose reachability graph is isomorphic to $A$ if there is one.…
Synthesis consists in deciding whether a given labeled transition system (TS) $A$ can be implemented by a net $N$ of type $\tau$. In case of a negative decision, it may be possible to convert $A$ into an implementable TS $B$ by applying…
Modeling of real-world systems with Petri nets allows to benefit from their generic concepts of parallelism, synchronisation and conflict, and obtain a concise yet expressive system representation. Algorithms for synthesis of a net from a…
Synthesis for a type $\tau$ of Petri nets is the following search problem: For a transition system $A$, find a Petri net $N$ of type $\tau$ whose state graph is isomorphic to $A$, if there is one. To determine the computational complexity…
The problem of $\tau$-synthesis consists in deciding whether a given directed labeled graph $A$ is isomorphic to the reachability graph of a Boolean Petri net $N$ of type $\tau$. In case of a positive decision, $N$ should be constructed.…
Elementary net systems (ENS) are the most fundamental class of Petri nets. Their synthesis problem has important applications in the design of digital hardware and commercial processes. Given a labeled transition system (TS) $A$,…
Boolean nets are Petri nets that permit at most one token per place. Research has approached this important subject in many ways which resulted in various different classes of boolean nets. But yet, they are only distinguished by the…
Boolean Petri nets are differentiated by types of nets $\tau$ based on which of the interactions nop, inp, out, set, res, swap, used, and free they apply or spare. The synthesis problem relative to a specific type of nets $\tau$ is to find…
Boolean Petri nets equipped with nop allow places and transitions to be independent by being related by nop. We characterize for any fixed natural number g the computational complexity of synthesizing nop-equipped Boolean Petri nets from…
In Petri net synthesis we ask whether a given transition system $A$ can be implemented by a Petri net $N$. Depending on the level of accuracy, there are three ways how $N$ can implement $A$: an embedding, the least accurate implementation,…
Transition systems (TS) and Petri nets (PN) are important models of computation ubiquitous in formal methods for modeling systems. An important problem is how to extract from a given TS a PN whose reachability graph is equivalent (with a…
First, the topological structure of a transition system is studied. Then, two types of transition system (TS) representations of Boolean networks (BNs) and Boolean control networks (BCNs) are investigated. The first kind of representation…
In the presence of a globally conserved charge $N$, a natural question is whether a given separable state can be separated into charge-conserving components. We dub this problem the Symmetric Separability Problem (SSP). On random states,…
The information processing capacity of a complex dynamical system is reflected in the partitioning of its state space into disjoint basins of attraction, with state trajectories in each basin flowing towards their corresponding attractor.…
A new graphical framework, Abridged Petri Nets (APNs) is introduced for bottom-up modeling of complex stochastic systems. APNs are similar to Stochastic Petri Nets (SPNs) in as much as they both rely on component-based representation of…
A Boolean network is a discrete dynamical system operating on vectors of Boolean variables. The action of a Boolean network can be conveniently expressed as a system of Boolean update functions, computing the new values for each component…
Petri net synthesis consists in deciding for a given transition system $A$ whether there exists a Petri net $N$ whose reachability graph is isomorphic to $A$. Several works examined the synthesis of Petri net subclasses that restrict, for…
We apply complex network analysis to the state spaces of random Boolean networks (RBNs). An RBN contains $N$ Boolean elements each with $K$ inputs. A directed state space network (SSN) is constructed by linking each dynamical state,…
Many biological systems, such as metabolic pathways, exhibit bistability behavior: these biological systems exhibit two distinct stable states with switching between the two stable states controlled by certain conditions. Since…
We study the dynamics of randomly connected networks composed of binary Boolean elements and those composed of binary majority vote elements. We elucidate their differences in both sparsely and densely connected cases. The quickness of…
