Abstract

Correctness of many hybrid and distributed systems require stability and convergence guarantees. Unlike the standard induction principle for verifying invariance, a theory for verifying stability or convergence of automata is currently not available. In this paper, we formalize one such theory proposed by Tsitsiklis [27]. We build on the existing PVS metatheory for untimed, timed, and hybrid input/output automata, and incorporate the concepts about fairness, stability, Lyapunov-like functions, and convergence. The resulting theory provides two sets of sufficient conditions, which when instantiated and verified for particular automata, guarantee convergence and stability, respectively.
