Sufficient conditions for satisfaction of formulas with until operators in hybrid systems
Hyejin Han, Mohamed Adlene Maghenem, Ricardo G. Sanfelice · 2020
In this paper, we introduce tools to verify the satisfaction of temporal logic specifications using the until operator for hybrid dynamical systems. Hybrid dynamical systems are given in terms of differential and difference inclusions, which capture the continuous and discrete dynamics (or events), respectively. For such systems, conditional invariance and eventual conditional invariance are employed to characterize dynamical properties associated with the until operators. Sufficient conditions for the satisfaction of temporal logic specifications involving the until operator are provided by guaranteeing properties of the data defining the systems and the existence of barrier functions or Lyapunov-like functions. Examples illustrate the results throughout the paper.
