We propose an alternative framework for quantifying coherence. The framework is based on a natural property of coherence, the additivity of coherence for subspace-independent states, which is described by an operation-independent equality…

Formal verification of neuro-symbolic cyber-physical systems, such as drones, medical devices and robots, is complicated. Neural components must be trained to be optimal with respect to the available data as well as the safety…

This paper is concerned with a compositional approach for constructing infinite abstractions of interconnected discrete-time stochastic control systems. The proposed approach uses the interconnection matrix and joint dissipativity-type…
