Model checking Multirate Hybrid Systems with Dense Timed Interval Temporal Logic

摘要

This paper investigates the model checking issue of multirate hybrid systems. To this end, multirate automata are used to represent the possible behavior of multirate hybrid systems, and a dense timed interval temporal logic (DTITL) is defined to describe the desirable property. To check whether a multirate automaton satisfies a DTITL formula, a corresponding region automaton and a propositional interval temporal logic (PITL) formula are constructed. By labelling each vertex of the region automaton with propositions appearing in the corresponding PITL formula, the model checking problem for mutirate hybrid systems is reduced to the same issue for PITL, which can be solved readily.
