文摘The reachability problem of synchronizing transitions bounded Petri net systems （BPNSs） is investigated in this paper by constructing a mathematical model for dynamics of BPNS. Using the semi-tensor product （STP） of matrices, the dynamics of BPNSs, which can be viewed as a combination of several small bounded subnets via synchronizing transitions, are described by an algebraic equation. When the algebraic form for its dynamics is established, we can present a necessary and sufficient condition for the reachability between any marking （or state） and initial marking. Also, we give a corresponding algorithm to calculate all of the transition paths between initial marking and any target marking. Finally, an example is shown to illustrate proposed results.
