We give a new proof of the decidability of reachability in alternating pushdown systems, showing that it is a simple consequence of a cut-elimination theorem for some natural-deduction style inference systems. Then, we show how this result…
Hamilton-Jacobi Reachability (HJR) analysis has been successfully used in many robotics and control tasks, and is especially effective in computing reach-avoid sets and control laws that enable an agent to reach a goal while satisfying…

Given an $n$-vertex $m$-edge digraph $G = (V,E)$ and a set $S \subseteq V$, $|S| = n^{\sigma}$ (for some $0 < \sigma \le 1$) of designated sources, the $S \times V$-direachability problem is to compute for every $s \in S$, the set of all…
Reachability analysis aims at identifying states reachable by a system within a given time horizon. This task is known to be computationally expensive for linear hybrid systems. Reachability analysis works by iteratively applying continuous…
In this paper we propose novel optimization-based methods for verifying reach-avoid (or, eventuality) properties of continuous-time systems modelled by ordinary differential equations. Given a system, an initial set, a safe set and a target…

We consider reachability in dynamical systems with discrete linear updates, but with fixed digital precision, i.e., such that values of the system are rounded at each step. Given a matrix $M \in \mathbb{Q}^{d \times d}$, an initial vector…

Multi-pushdown systems are a standard model for concurrent recursive programs, but they have an undecidable reachability problem. Therefore, there have been several proposals to underapproximate their sets of runs so that reachability in…
