Abstractions for transition systems with applications to stubborn sets

    Abstract

    Partial order reduction covers a range of techniques based on eliminating unnecessary transitions when generating a state space. On the other hand, abstractions replace sets of states of a system with abstract representatives in order to create a smaller state space. This article explores how stubborn sets and abstraction can be combined. We provide examples to provide intuition and expand on some recent results. We provide a classification of abstractions and give some novel results on what is needed to combine abstraction and partial order reduction in a sound way.
