Reachability in Two-Clock Timed Automata Is PSPACE-Complete

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 7966))

Abstract

Haase, Ouaknine, and Worrell have shown that reachability in two-clock timed automata is log-space equivalent to reachability in bounded one-counter automata. We show that reachability in bounded one-counter automata is PSPACE-complete.
