Characterizing the convex hulls of reachable sets simplifies estimation algorithms efficiently.
Sintesi
The article discusses the challenges of computing reachable sets in control systems and proposes a new approach to estimate the convex hulls of reachable sets efficiently. It introduces an algorithm based on characterizing the convex hulls of reachable sets using solutions of an ordinary differential equation with initial conditions on the sphere. The article also explores the structure of the boundary of reachable convex hulls and provides error bounds for the estimation algorithm. Applications to neural feedback loop analysis and robust MPC are discussed.
