We introduce notions of simulation between semiring-weighted automata as models of quantitative systems. Our simulations are instances of the categorical/coalgebraic notions previously studied by Hasuo---hence soundness against language…

This paper proposes a method to compute finite abstractions that can be used for synthesizing robust hybrid control strategies for nonlinear systems. Most existing methods for computing finite abstractions utilize some global, analytical…

A symmetry of a dynamical system is a map that transforms one trajectory to another trajectory. We introduce a new type of abstraction for hybrid automata based on symmetries. The abstraction combines different modes in a concrete automaton…

The CEGAR loop in software model checking notoriously diverges when the abstraction refinement procedure does not derive a loop invariant. An abstraction refinement procedure based on an SMT solver is applied to a trace, i.e., a restricted…

Hybrid dynamical systems have proven to be a powerful modeling abstraction, yet fundamental questions regarding the dynamical properties of these systems remain. In this paper, we develop a novel class of relaxations which we use to recover…

Verification of numerical accuracy properties in modern software remains an important and challenging task. This paper describes an original framework combining different solutions for numerical accuracy. First, we extend an existing…

Unlike Counterexample-Guided Abstraction Refinement (CEGAR), Three-Valued Abstraction Refinement (TVAR) is able to verify all properties of the mu-calculus. We present a novel algorithmic framework for TVAR that employs a simulator-like…

The development of efficient and robust dynamic models is fundamental in the field of systems and control engineering. In this paper, a new formulation for the dynamic model of nonlinear mechanical systems, that can be applied to different…

This paper studies symbolic abstractions for nonlinear control systems using logarithmic quantization. With a logarithmic quantizer, we approximate the state and input sets, and then construct a novel discrete abstraction for nonlinear…

This paper proposes a neural network hybrid modeling framework for dynamics learning to promote an interpretable, computationally efficient way of dynamics learning and system identification. First, a low-level model will be trained to…

Sufficiently accurate finite state models, also called symbolic models or discrete abstractions, allow one to apply fully automated methods, originally developed for purely discrete systems, to formally reason about continuous and hybrid…

We introduce heap automata, a formalism for automatic reasoning about robustness properties of the symbolic heap fragment of separation logic with user-defined inductive predicates. Robustness properties, such as satisfiability,…

We propose a novel, flexible algorithm for combining together metaheuristicoptimizers for non-convex optimization problems. Our approach treatsthe constituent optimizers as a team of complex agents that communicateinformation amongst each…

We present simple new Hoare logics and refinement calculi for hybrid systems in the style of differential dynamic logic. (Refinement) Kleene algebra with tests is used for reasoning about the program structure and generating verification…

In this article, we present an extension of the formulation recently developed by the authors (A Framework for Data-Driven Computational Mechanics Based on Nonlinear Optimization, arXiv:1910.12736 [math.NA]) to the structural dynamics…

Feedback optimization algorithms compute inputs to a system using real-time output measurements, which helps mitigate the effects of disturbances. However, existing work often models both system dynamics and computations in either discrete…

We present a 'calculator' for constructing a homogeneous approximation of nonlinear control systems, which is based on the algebraic approach developed by the authors in their previous papers. This approach mainly uses linear algebraic and…

We describe an automated technique for assume-guarantee style checking of strong simulation between a system and a specification, both expressed as non-deterministic Labeled Probabilistic Transition Systems (LPTSes). We first characterize…

Hybrid numerical-experimental testing is a standard approach for complex dynamical structures that are, on the one hand, not easy to model due to complexity and parameter uncertainty and, on the other hand, too expensive for full-scale…

A new framework for nonlinear system identification is presented in terms of optimal fitting of stable nonlinear state space equations to input/output/state data, with a performance objective defined as a measure of robustness of the…
