Counter approach for the estimation of optimal sequences in Partially Observable Untimed Petri Nets
Résumé
In this paper, we consider the on-line estimation of optimal current subsequences in Partially Observable Untimed Petri Nets. Applying the counter approach classically used in max-plus algebra for Timed Petri nets, the idea is to exploit the assumption of a non immediate consumption of the tokens for each place which introduces an order of precedence between events. The approach can estimate a global price depending on the costs and gains provided by the tasks. The estimation of optimal sequences is based on the determination of a time horizon necessary to describe the sequences. The estimation is relevant to a step defined by two successive occurrences of observable transition firings. We show that the approach can consider any optimization problem if the dates of the observations are known or, if a guaranteed horizon can be computed which is always possible when the unobservable subnet satisfies a weak assumption close to the structural boundedness (relaxed structurally boundedness). As the technique avoids the generation of sets, the approach does not depend on their cardinalities and is numerically efficient.
