Abstract

The paper presents a concept for the reachability analysis of switched continuous systems in which switching only occurs when the continuous state trajectory crosses thresholds defined by a rectangular partitioning of the state space. It combines an existing approach for approximating such systems by rectangular automata with an existing reachability algorithm for this class of hybrid automata. Instead of creating a complete abstraction of the original system by a rectangular automaton first and then analyzing it, in the presented procedure the flow conditions of the visited locations are determinded on-the-fly during the course of the analysis. The algorithm is illustrated with the help of a simple physical example.
