Abstract
The matrix-predicate method for defining finite graphs, as introduced by the authors, and utilized for finite state automation, can be used to define Petri nets, which are bipartite (directed) multigraphs. A square matrix can also represent a Petri net in matrix-predicate form. With this, we can apply matrix theory to perform mathematical operations (set-theoretic and logical) on Petri nets. Employing predicate theory elements in network definition will enhance management flexibility.
