TLDR
This work builds on a general notion of system with set-valued dynamics and possibly non-deterministic quantizers to permit the synthesis of controllers that robustly, and provably, enforce the specification in the presence of various types of uncertainties and disturbances.Abstract:
We present an abstraction and refinement methodology for the automated controller synthesis to enforce general predefined specifications. The designed controllers require quantized (or symbolic) state information only and can be interfaced with the system via a static quantizer. Both features are particularly important with regard to any practical implementation of the designed controllers and, as we prove, are characterized by the existence of a feedback refinement relation between plant and abstraction. Feedback refinement relations are a novel concept introduced in this paper. Our work builds on a general notion of system with set-valued dynamics and possibly non-deterministic quantizers to permit the synthesis of controllers that robustly, and provably, enforce the specification in the presence of various types of uncertainties and disturbances. We identify a class of abstractions that is canonical in a well-defined sense, and provide a method to efficiently compute canonical abstractions. We demonstrate the practicality of our approach on two examples.read more

Data-driven memory-dependent abstractions of dynamical systems
TL;DR: In this paper , a sample-based, sequential method is proposed to abstract a dynamical system with a sequence of memory-dependent Markov chains of increasing size, which alleviates a correlation bias that has been observed in samplebased abstractions.

TL;DR: This paper presents a new approach to implement the enforceable predecessor operator for games represented in BDD form that reduces game solving times and hence increases the scalability of controller synthesis when employing a physical system abstraction.

Formal controller synthesis for hybrid systems using genetic programming.
Cees F. Verdier,Manuel Mazo +1 more
TL;DR: The framework uses genetic programming to automatically co-synthesize controllers and candidate Lyapunov-like functions to formally verify the control specification, and their correctness is proven using a Satisfiability Modulo Theories solver.

Differential Equations with Discontinuous Righthand Sides
TL;DR: The kind and level of sophistication of mathematics applied in various sciences has changed drastically in recent years: measure theory is used (non-trivially) in regional and theoretical economics, algebraic geometry interacts with physics, and such new emerging subdisciplines as "experimental mathematics", "CFD", "completely integrable systems", "chaos, synergetics and large-scale order", which are almost impossible to fit into the existing classification schemes.
