Reachability analysis of dynamical models is a relevant problem that has seen much progress in the last decades, however with clear limitations pertaining to the nature of the dynamics and the soundness of the results. This article focuses on sound safety verification of unbounded-time (infinite-horizon) linear time-invariant (LTI) models with inputs using reachability analysis. We achieve this using counterexample-guided Abstract Acceleration: this approach over-approximates the reachability tube of the LTI model over an unbounded time horizon by using abstraction, possibly finding concrete counterexamples for refinement based on the given safety specification. The technique is applied to a number of LTI models and the results show robust performance when compared to state-of-the-art tools.
动态模型的可达性分析是一个相关问题,在过去几十年中取得了很大进展,然而在动力学性质和结果的可靠性方面存在明显局限性。本文重点使用可达性分析对具有输入的无界时间(无限时域)线性时不变(LTI)模型进行可靠的安全性验证。我们通过反例引导的抽象加速来实现这一点:该方法通过使用抽象来过度近似LTI模型在无界时间范围内的可达性管,可能会根据给定的安全规范找到具体的反例用于细化。该技术应用于多个LTI模型,结果表明与现有工具相比具有强大的性能。
