Bounded and Unbounded Safety Verification Using Bisimulation Metrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose an algorithm for bounded safety verification for a class of hybrid systems described by metric transition systems. The algorithm combines exploration of the system trajectories and state space reduction using merging based on a bisimulation metric. The main novelty compared to an algorithm presented recently by Lerda et.al. lies in the introduction of a tuning parameter that makes it possible to increase the performances drastically. The second significant contribution of this work is a procedure that allows us to derive, in some cases, a proof of unbounded safety from a proof of bounded safety via a refinement step. We demonstrate the efficiency of the approach via numerous experimental results.

Approximate bisimulation relations for constrained linear systems
In this paper, we define the notion of approximate bisimulation relation between two continuous systems. While exact bisimulation requires that the observations of two systems are and remain identical, approximate bisimulation allows the observations to be different provided the distance between them remains bounded by some parameter called precision. Approximate bisimulation relations are conv...
متن کاملAn approximation theory for discrete event and continuous time systems
Established system relationships for discrete systems, such as language inclusion, simulation, and bisimulation, require system observations to be identical. When interacting with the physical world, modeled by continuous or hybrid systems, exact relationships are restrictive and not robust. In this paper, we develop the first framework of system approximation that applies to both discrete and ...
متن کاملUp-To Techniques for Generalized Bisimulation Metrics
Bisimulation metrics allow us to compute distances between the behaviors of probabilistic systems. In this paper we present enhancements of the proof method based on bisimulation metrics, by extending the theory of up-to techniques to (pre)metrics on discrete probabilistic concurrent processes. Up-to techniques have proved to be a powerful proof method for showing that two systems are bisimilar...
متن کاملDecidability of Verification of Safety Properties of Spatial Families of Linear Hybrid Automata
We consider systems composed of an unbounded number of uniformly designed linear hybrid automata, whose dynamic behavior is determined by their relation to neighboring systems. We present a class of such systems and a class of safety properties whose verification can be reduced to the verification of (small) families of “neighboring” systems of bounded size, and identify situations in which suc...
متن کاملLogical Characterization of Bisimulation Metrics
Bisimulation metrics provide a robust and accurate approach to study the behavior of nondeterministic probabilistic processes. In this paper, we propose a logical characterization of bisimulation metrics based on a simple probabilistic variant of the Hennessy-Milner logic. Our approach is based on the novel notions of mimicking formulae and distance between formulae. The former are a weak versi...
