A barrier certificate, defined over the states of a dynamical system, is a real-valued function whose zero level set characterizes an inductively verifiable state invariant separating reachable states from unsafe ones. When combined with…

Given a random sample from a random variable $T$ which is bounded from above, $T\le\tau$ a.s., we define processes that are positive supermartingales if $E(T)\ge\mu$. Such processes are called test martingales. Tests of the supermartingale…
