Abstract

We consider the complexity of several property preserving Petri net transformations found in the literature. These transfor­mations were candidates for.inclusion in a software tool to peiform liveness and boundedness analysis on Petri nets. These results show that it is infeasible for certain transformations in general to assist in liveness and boundedness analysis. We also consider synthesis transformations and show, for each transformation, their complexities. In each case, we consider the complexity of the decision problem with regard to the applicability of the transformation. .
