Abstract

Formal language theory is used to some extent in the investigation of properties of Petri nets (see, e.g. [H], [JV] and [P]). In most applications of language theory for Petri nets one considers completely sequentialized versions of Petri nets only. That is one assumes that a Petri net has one central run place which allows only a single transition to fire at a time; any sequence of such firings is called a firing sequence and the language of a Petri net consists of the set of all firing sequences (or only of those firing sequences that lead to one of the finite number of final markings).
