We present an approach to identify a quasi Linear Parameter Varying (qLPV) model of a plant, with the qLPV model guaranteed to admit a robust control invariant (RCI) set. It builds upon the concurrent synthesis framework presented in [1],…

We propose a "formula slicing" method for finding inductive invariants. It is based on the observation that many loops in the program affect only a small part of the memory, and many invariants which were valid before a loop are still valid…

Conditional independence (CI) is central to causal inference, feature selection, and graphical modeling, yet it is untestable in many settings without additional assumptions. Existing CI tests often rely on restrictive structural…
