In a previous paper we introduced immediate observation (IO) Petri nets, a class of interest in the study of population protocols (a model of distributed computation), and enzymatic chemical networks. We showed that many problems for this class are PSPACE-complete, including parameterized problems asking whether an infinite set of Petri nets with the same underlying net but different initial markings satisfy a given property. The proofs of PSPACE inclusion did not provide explicit algorithms…

This paper restricts attention to immediate observation (IO) population protocols, a class introduced and studied in (Angluin et al., PODC, 2006), and shows that both problems are solvable in exponential space for IO protocols.

The computational complexity of the correctness problem for all other classes introduced by Angluin et al., some of which are less powerful than the main model, are studied.

It is shown that the set of possible counter values which can be reached after any number of iterations of a loop is definable in the additive theory of ℕ (or ℤ or ℝ depending on the type of the counters).

It is proved that for finite linear systems, the accelerations of sequences of transitions always produce an effective Presburger-definable relation, and it is shown how to choose the good sequences of length n whose number is polynomial in n although the total number of Sequence n is exponential in n.
Petri Nets, Commutative Context-Free Grammars, and Basic Parallel Processes
The paper provides a structural characterisation of the reachable markings of Petri nets in which every transition has exactly one input place. As a corollary, the reachability problem for this class

We show that any unbounded function weakly computable by a Petri net or a VASS cannot be sublinear. This answers a long-standing folklore conjecture about weakly computing the inverses of some

It is proved that all predicates stably computable in this model of population protocols (and certain generalizations of it) are semilinear, answering a central open question about the power of the model.

Finite-state model-checkers such as Smv and Spin do not allow to deal with important aspects that appear in modelling and analysing complex systems, e.g., real-time constraints, manipulation of unbounded data structures like counters, communication through unbounded channels, parametric reasoning, etc.
