Stubborn sets and model unfolding are two well-known methods for sidestepping the complexity of state-space ex ploration based on formal models of concurrent programs, such as Labeled Transition Systems and Petri nets. Here we define a deadlock detection strategy that combines these two methods. We also show that the resulting method, stub born unfoldings, can produce smaller state space represen tations than both previous methods.
