Reachable set computation is an important technique for the verification of safety properties of dynamical systems. In this paper, we investigate reachable set computation for discrete nonlinear systems based on parallelotope bundles. The algorithm relies on computing an upper bound on the supremum of a nonlinear function over a rectangular domain, which has been traditionally done using Bernstein polynomials. We strive to remove the manual step of parallelotope template selection to make the method fully automatic. Furthermore, we show that changing templates dynamically during computations cans improve accuracy. To this end, we investigate two techniques for generating the template directions. The first technique approximates the dynamics as a linear transformation and generates templates using this linear transformation. The second technique uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of sample trajectories for generating templates. We have implemented our approach in a Python-based tool called Kaa and improve its performance by two main enhancements. The tool is modular and use two types of global optimization solvers, the first using Bernstein polynomials and the second using NASAs Kodiak nonlinear optimization library. Second, we leverage the natural parallelism of the reachability algorithm and parallelize the Kaa implementation. We demonstrate the improved accuracy of our approach on several standard nonlinear benchmark systems.
This article presents a new set representation named the hybrid zonotope. The hybrid zonotope is shown to be equivalent to $2^N$ constrained zonotopes through the addition of $N$ binary zonotope factors and is well-suited for the analysis of hybrid s
This paper deals with the computation of the largest robust control invariant sets (RCISs) of constrained nonlinear systems. The proposed approach is based on casting the search for the invariant set as a graph theoretical problem. Specifically, a ge
Self-triggered control (STC) is a well-established technique to reduce the amount of samples for sampled-data systems, and is hence particularly useful for Networked Control Systems. At each sampling instant, an STC mechanism determines not only an u
In this work, we perform safety analysis of linear dynamical systems with uncertainties. Instead of computing a conservative overapproximation of the reachable set, our approach involves computing a statistical approximate reachable set. As a result,
We present an algorithm for data-driven reachability analysis that estimates finite-horizon forward reachable sets for general nonlinear systems using level sets of a certain class of polynomials known as Christoffel functions. The level sets of Chri
