Abstract

We show that the notion of uncontrollable marking commonly used in the literature on supervisory control theory of Petri nets is not sound, by means of a counter-example. We also show how the definition can be corrected and provide an adaptation of a decidability proof for the problem of checking controllability for specifications expressed as deterministic Petri net languages.
