Assume-Admissible Synthesis
In this paper, we introduce a novel rule for synthesis of reactive systems,
applicable to systems made of n components which have each their own
objectives. It is based on the notion of admissible strategies. We compare our
novel rule with previous rules defined in the literature, and we show that
contrary to the previous proposals, our rule defines sets of solutions which
are rectangular. This property leads to solutions which are robust and
resilient. We provide algorithms with optimal complexity and also an
abstraction framework.Comment: 31 page
Non-Zero Sum Games for Reactive Synthesis
In this invited contribution, we summarize new solution concepts useful for
the synthesis of reactive systems that we have introduced in several recent
publications. These solution concepts are developed in the context of non-zero
sum games played on graphs. They are part of the contributions obtained in the
inVEST project funded by the European Research Council.Comment: LATA'16 invited pape
Stabilization of Linear Systems with Structured Perturbations
The problem of stabilization of linear systems with bounded structured uncertainties are considered in this paper. Two notions of stability, denoted quadratic stability (Q-stability) and ÎĽ-stability, are considered, and corresponding notions of stabilizability and detectability are defined. In both cases, the output feedback stabilization problem is reduced via a separation argument to two simpler problems: full information (FI) and full control (FC). The set of all stabilizing controllers can be parametrized as a linear fractional transformation (LFT) on a free stable parameter. For Q-stability, stabilizability and detectability can in turn be characterized by Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs), and the FI and FC Q-stabilization problems can be solved using the corresponding LMIs. In the standard one-dimensional case the results in this paper reduce to well-known results on controller parametrization using state-space methods, although the development here relies more heavily on elegant LFT machinery and avoids the need for coprime factorizations
Interval-based Synthesis
We introduce the synthesis problem for Halpern and Shoham's modal logic of
intervals extended with an equivalence relation over time points, abbreviated
HSeq. In analogy to the case of monadic second-order logic of one successor,
the considered synthesis problem receives as input an HSeq formula phi and a
finite set Sigma of propositional variables and temporal requests, and it
establishes whether or not, for all possible evaluations of elements in Sigma
in every interval structure, there exists an evaluation of the remaining
propositional variables and temporal requests such that the resulting structure
is a model for phi. We focus our attention on decidability of the synthesis
problem for some meaningful fragments of HSeq, whose modalities are drawn from
the set A (meets), Abar (met by), B (begins), Bbar (begun by), interpreted over
finite linear orders and natural numbers. We prove that the fragment ABBbareq
is decidable (non-primitive recursive hard), while the fragment AAbarBBbar
turns out to be undecidable. In addition, we show that even the synthesis
problem for ABBbar becomes undecidable if we replace finite linear orders by
natural numbers.Comment: In Proceedings GandALF 2014, arXiv:1408.556
