چکیده
We study Vector Addition Systems with States (VASS) extended in such a way that one of the manipulated integer variables can be tested to zero. For this class of system, it has been proved that the reachability problem is decidable. We prove here that boundedness, termination and reversal-boundedness are decidable for VASS with one zero-test. To decide reversal-boundedness, we provide an original method which mixes both the construction of the coverability graph for VASS and the computation of the reachability set of reversal-bounded counter machines. The same construction can be slightly adapted to decide boundedness and hence termination.

متن کاملReachability in Timed Counter Systems
We introduce Timed Counter Systems, a new class of systems mixing clocks and counters. Such systems have an infinite state space, and their reachability problems are generally undecidable. By abstracting clock values with a Region Graph, we show the Counter Reachability Problem to be decidable for three subclasses : Timed VASS, Bounded Timed Counter Systems, and Reversal-Bounded Timed Counter S...
متن کاملFinkel , Alain and Sangnier , Arnaud Reversal - bounded counter machines revisited Research Report LSV - 08 - 33 December 2008
We extend the class of reversal-bounded counter machines by authorizing a finite number of alternations between increasing and decreasing mode over a given bound. We prove that extended reversal-bounded counter machines also have effective semi-linear reachability sets. We also prove that the property of being reversal-bounded is undecidable in general even when we fix the bound, whereas this p...

متن کاملFrom pointer systems to counter systems using shape analysis
We aim at checking safety properties on systems manipulating dynamic linked lists. First we prove that every pointer system is bisimilar to an effectively constructible counter system. We then deduce a two-step analysis procedure. We first build an over-approximation of the reachability set of the pointer system. If this overapproximation is too coarse to conclude, we then extract from it a bis...
