Abstract

In this paper we consider the problem of approximating the set of states reachable within a time bound T in a linear dynamical system, to within a given error bound ε. Fixing a degree d, our algorithm divides the interval [0,T] into sub-intervals of not necessarily equal size, such that a polynomial of degree d approximates the actual flow to within an error bound of ε, and approximates the reach set within each sub-interval by the polynomial tube. Our experimental evaluation of the algorithm when the degree d is fixed to be either 1 or 2, shows that the approach is promising, as it scales to large dimensional dynamical systems, and performs better than previous approaches that divided the interval [0,T] evenly into sub-intervals.
