Some Fundamental Properties of Petri Nets

Anthony Spiteri Staines

The aims of this work are to find ways to represent and remodel Petri nets. The importance of matrix representation for Petri net structures is highlighted and used to represent Petri nets. Depending on the structure of the Petri nets certain properties can be clearly identified in the corresponding input, output flow and incidence matrices. These properties are clearly explained. It is shown how inverting or swapping places and transitions results in consistent changes in the incidence matrix. Relationships, results and findings using matrix representation are presented using examples and discussed
