Computing controllers for nonlinear hybrid systems

From MaRDI portal





This paper deals with the problem of synthesizing controllers that meet safety specifications for nonlinear hybrid systems. Specifically, a procedure is discussed which depends on the construction of the set of states that can be driven to a subset of the state space, avoiding another subset of the state space (the Reach-Avoid set). A new characterization of the Reach-Avoid set in terms of the solutions of a pair of coupled Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equations is presented. These H-J PDEs are obtained by formulating the problem as a 2-player, zero-sum game, between a controller that tries to ensure that the safety specification is satisfied and a disturbance that tries to violate the safety specification. The paper proposes a numerical scheme for solving these PDEs. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0911.00057].
