Abstract

We consider the problem of verifying safety for a pair of identical integrator agents in continuous time with compact set-valued input uncertainties. We encode this verification problem as that of certifying or falsifying the intersection of their reach sets. We transcribe the same into a variational problem, namely that of minimizing the support function of the difference of the two reach sets over the unit sphere. We illustrate the computational tractability of the proposed formulation by developing two cases in detail, viz. when the inputs have time-varying norm-bounded and generic hyperrectangular uncertainties. We show that the latter case allows distributed certification via second order cone programming.
