Abstract

We study the complexity of the reachability problem for Vector Addition Systems with States (VASSes) in fixed dimensions. We provide four lower bounds improving the currently known state-of-the-art: 1) \np-hardness for unary flat 44-VASSes (VASSes in dimension 4), 2) \pspace-hardness for unary 55-VASSes, 3) \expspace-hardness for binary 66-VASSes and 4) \tower-hardness for unary 88-VASSes.
