On the Parameterized Complexity of Synthesizing Boolean Petri Nets With Restricted Dependency (Technical Report)

英文摘要：

The problem of $τ$-synthesis consists in deciding whether a given directed labeled graph $A$ is isomorphic to the reachability graph of a Boolean Petri net $N$ of type $τ$. In case of a positive decision, $N$ should be constructed. For many Boolean types of nets, the problem is NP-complete. This paper deals with a special variant of $τ$-synthesis that imposes restrictions for the target net $N$: we investigate \emph{dependency $d$-restricted $τ$-synthesis (DR$τ$S)} where each place of $N$ can influence and be influenced by at most $d$ transitions. For a type $τ$, if $τ$-synthesis is NP-complete then DR$τ$S is also NP-complete. In this paper, we show that DR$τ$S parameterized by $d$ is in XP. Furthermore, we prove that it is $W[2]$-hard, for many Boolean types that allow unconditional interactions $set$ and $reset$.
