Abstract -- This document describes a Matlab toolbox for the supervisory control of Petri nets based on place invariants. In what follows we present a detailed description of a number of functions we propose. These are the topics we address:
- Solving integer programs
- Transformations to admissible marking constraints
- Enforcing linear constraints in Petri nets which may have uncontrollable and/or unobservable transitions
- Invariant computation
- The coverability (reachability) graph
- Deadlock prevention and liveness enforcement
This document does not present all functions of the toolbox, as some of the functions are typically used only as subroutines of the main functions. However, all functions are provided with detailed help lines which can be read using the help command of Matlab.
The software was developed under Matlab 5.3 and Matlab 6 on a SunOS platform.
