We formally introduce IsaVODEs (Isabelle verification with Ordinary Differential Equations), a framework for the verification of cyber-physical systems. We describe the semantic foundations of the framework's formalisation in the…

The need for formal definition of the very basis of mathematics arose in the last century. The scale and complexity of mathematics, along with discovered paradoxes, revealed the danger of accumulating errors across theories. Although,…
