Abstract

We have developed a hybrid system safety prover, implemented in Coq using the abstraction method introduced by [2]. The development includes: a formalisation of the structure of hybrid systems; a framework for the construction of an abstract system (consisting of decidable “over-estimators” of abstract transitions and initiality) faithfully representing a concrete hybrid system; a translation of abstract systems to graphs, enabling the decision of abstract state reachability using a certified graph reachability algorithm; a proof of the safety of an example hybrid system generated using this tool stack. To produce fully certified safety proofs without relying on floating point computations, the development critically relies on the computable real number implementation of the CoRN library of constructive mathematics formalised in Coq. The development also features a nice interplay between constructive and classical logic via the double negation monad.
