Abstract

Motivated by stability analysis of large scale power systems, we describe how the Lasserre (moment-sums of squares, SOS) hierarchy can be used to generate outer approximations of the region of attraction (ROA) of sparse polynomial differential systems, at the price of solving linear matrix inequalities (LMI) of increasing size. We identify specific sparsity structures for which we can provide numerically certified outer approximations of the region of attraction in high dimension. For this purpose, we combine previous results on non-sparse ROA approximations with sparse semi-algebraic set volume computation.
