Safety-critical control of piecewise affine (PWA) systems under bounded additive disturbances requires guarantees not for individual states but for entire state sets simultaneously: a single control action must steer every state in the set…

Certified robustness is a desirable property for deep neural networks in safety-critical applications, and popular training algorithms can certify robustness of a neural network by computing a global bound on its Lipschitz constant.…
