Abstract: Stubborn sets are a tool for state space reduction preserving certain system properties. We present stubborn set approaches for all popular Petri net standard properties. This extends the list of properties that can be analysed successfully (including boundedness, reversibility). For other properties, our approach can lead to larger reductions (reachability) than previous ones. Furthermore, shortest and cheapest witness paths for several properties are now preserved.
