Abstract

In this paper we propose an approach to over-approximate the reachable set (with bounded time and number of transitions) of a hybrid system by a finite set of polytopes. The constraints of the polytope are determined by a direction choice method. For the hybrid systems whose (1) continuous dynamics are linear, (2) invariants and guards are defined by linear inequalities, and (3) variable resets are expressed by invertible affine maps, we show that the over-approximations can be computed in polynomial time, and the overestimation can be arbitrarily reduced by decreasing the discretization time step if the continuous dynamics are all deterministic. Some experimental results are also presented to show the effectiveness of our approach.
