Dihomotopy as a Tool in State Space Analysis
Éric Goubault, Martin Raußen · 2002
Recent geometric methods have been used in concurrency theory for quickly finding deadlocks and unreachable states, see [14] for instance. The reason why these methods are fast is that they contain in germ ingredients for tackling the state-space explosion problem. In this paper we show how this can be made formal. We also give some hints about the underlying algorithmics. Finally, we compare with other well-known methods for coping with the state-space explosion problem.
