Lower Bounds for the Reachability Problem in Fixed Dimensional VASSes
We study the complexity of the reachability problem for Vector Addition Systems with States (VASSes) in fixed dimensions. We provide four lower bounds improving the currently known state-of-the-art: 1) -hardness for unary flat 4-VASSes (VASSes in dimension 4), 2) -hardness for unary 5-VASSes, 3) -hardness for binary 6-VASSes and 4) -hardness for unary 8-VASSes.
