✨ What is Reachability Analysis?

Reachability analysis is concerned with computing rigorous approximations of the set of states reachable by a dynamical system. In the scope of this package are systems modeled by continuous or hybrid dynamical systems, where the dynamics changes with discrete events. Systems are modelled by ordinary differential equations (ODEs) or semi-discrete partial differential equations (PDEs), with uncertain initial states, uncertain parameters or non-deterministic inputs.

The library is oriented towards a class of numerical methods known as set propagation techniques: to compute the set of states reachable by continuous or hybrid systems, such methods iteratively propagate a sequence of sets starting from the set of initial states, according to the systems' dynamics.

🏁 Quickstart

In less than 15 lines of code, we can formulate, solve and visualize the set of states reachable by the Duffing oscillator starting from any initial condition with position in the interval 0.9 .. 1.1 and velocity in -0.1 .. 0.1.

using ReachabilityAnalysis, Plots

const ω = 1.2
const T = 2*pi / ω

@taylorize function duffing!(du, u, p, t)
    local α = -1.0
    local β = 1.0
    local δ = 0.3
    local γ = 0.37
    
    x, v = u
    f = γ * cos(ω * t)

    # write the nonlinear differential equations defining the model
    du[1] = u[2]
    du[2] = -α*x - δ*v - β*x^3 + f
end

# set of initial states
X0 = Hyperrectangle(low=[0.9, -0.1], high=[1.1, 0.1])

# formulate the initial-value problem
prob = @ivp(x' = duffing!(x), x(0) ∈ X0, dim=2)

# solve using a Taylor model set representation
sol = solve(prob, tspan=(0.0, 20*T), alg=TMJets())

# plot the flowpipe in state-space
plot(sol, vars=(1, 2), xlab="x", ylab="v", lw=0.5, color=:red)
