  • Abstract
    The state number calculation problem is very important for model checking approach in Petri nets´ analysis. It is known that the problem is intractable for general Petri nets. In this paper, we showed that the problem is intractable for a popular subclass of Petri nets, called free choice workflow nets. Then we proposed a polynomial time algorithm to solve the problem for a subclass of free choice workflow nets. We also showed effectiveness of the algorithm through an application example.
