In this note, we propose a method to under-approximate finite-time reachable sets and tubes for a class of continuous-time linear uncertain systems. The class under consideration is the linear time-varying (LTV) class with integrable time-varying system matrices and uncertain initial and input values belonging to known convex compact sets. The proposed method depends upon the iterative use of constant-input reachable sets which results in convergent under-approximations in the sense of Hausdorff distance. We illustrate our approach through two numerical examples.

Zonotopes are widely used for over-approximating forward reachable sets of uncertain linear systems. In this paper, we use zonotopes to achieve more scalable algorithms that under-approximate backward reachable sets for uncertain linear systems. The main difference is that the backward reachability analysis is a two-player game and involves Minkowski difference operations, but zonotopes are not closed under such operations. We under-approximate this Minkowski difference with a zonotope, which can be obtained by solving a linear optimization problem. We further develop an efficient zonotope order reduction technique to bound the complexity of the obtained zonotopic under-approximations. The proposed approach is evaluated against existing approaches using randomly generated instances, and illustrated with an aircraft position control system.
We prove bounds for the volume of neighborhoods of algebraic sets, in the euclidean space or the sphere, in terms of the degree of the defining polynomials, the number of variables and the dimension of the algebraic set, without any smoothness assumption. This generalizes previous work of Lotz on smooth complete intersections in the euclidean space and of Burgisser, Cucker and Lotz on hypersurfaces in the sphere, and gives a complete solution to Problem 17 in the book titled Condition by Burgisser and Cucker.
We present a method to over-approximate reachable tubes over compact time-intervals, for linear continuous-time, time-varying control systems whose initial states and inputs are subject to compact convex uncertainty. The method uses numerical approximations of transition matrices, is convergent of first order, and assumes the ability to compute with compact convex sets in finite dimension. We also present a variant that applies to the case of zonotopic uncertainties, uses only linear algebraic operations, and yields zonotopic over-approximations. The performance of the latter variant is demonstrated on an example.
The need for robust control laws is especially important in safety-critical applications. We propose robust hybrid control barrier functions as a means to synthesize control laws that ensure robust safety. Based on this notion, we formulate an optimization problem for learning robust hybrid control barrier functions from data. We identify sufficient conditions on the data such that feasibility of the optimization problem ensures correctness of the learned robust hybrid control barrier functions. Our techniques allow us to safely expand the region of attraction of a compass gait walker that is subject to model uncertainty.
We consider the problem of stabilization of a linear system, under state and control constraints, and subject to bounded disturbances and unknown parameters in the state matrix. First, using a simple least square solution and available noisy measurements, the set of admissible values for parameters is evaluated. Second, for the estimated set of parameter values and the corresponding linear interval model of the system, two interval predictors are recalled and an unconstrained stabilizing control is designed that uses the predicted intervals. Third, to guarantee the robust constraint satisfaction, a model predictive control algorithm is developed, which is based on solution of an optimization problem posed for the interval predictor. The conditions for recursive feasibility and asymptotic performance are established. Efficiency of the proposed control framework is illustrated by numeric simulations.
