Comparing home spaces and invariants in Petri Nets, emphasizing the importance of semiflows for behavioral analysis.
Abstract
The article discusses the comparison between home spaces and invariants in Petri Nets, focusing on the significance of semiflows. It covers basic notions of Petri Nets, characteristics of generating sets, minimality of semiflows, decomposition theorems, and new results on topology. The methodology to analyze Petri Nets using home spaces is presented with examples from the telecommunication industry. Key insights include the relationship between minimal supports and behavioral properties, as well as the efficiency brought by minimal semiflows. The article concludes with future research directions.
