A Necessary Condition on Chain Reachable Robustness of Dynamical Systems

Optimization and Control 2020-05-05 v1

Abstract

It is ``folklore'' that the solution to a set reachability problem for a dynamical system is only noncomputable because of non-robustness reasons. A robustness condition that can be imposed on a dynamical system is the requirement of the chain reachable set to equal the closure of the reachable set. We claim that this condition necessarily imposes strong conditions on the dynamical system. For instance, if the space is connected and compact and we are computing a chain reachable robust single valued function ff then ff cannot have an unstable fixed point or unstable periodic cycle.
