Summary :

The subject of the paper is to give an overview and latest results on the Legal Firing Sequence Problem of Petri nets (LFS for short). LFS is very fundamental in the sense that it appears as a subproblem or a simpler form of various basic problems in Petri net theory, such as the well-known marking reachability problem, the minimum initial resource allocation problem, the liveness (of level 4) problem, the scheduling problem and so on. However, solving LFS generally is not easy: it is NP -hard even for Petri nets having very simple structures. This intractability of LFS may have been preventing us from producing efficient algorithms for those problems. So research on LFS from computational complexity point of view seems to be rewarding.
