Robust Timed Automata
Vineet Gupta, Thomas Henzinger, Radha Jagadeesan
Abstract
We define robust timed automata, which are timed automata that accept
all trajectories "robustly":
if a robust timed automaton accepts a trajectory, then it must accept
neighboring trajectories also;
and if a robust timed automaton rejects a trajectory, then it must reject
neighboring trajectories also.
We show that the emptiness problem for robust timed automata is still
decidable, by modifying the region construction for timed automata.
We then show that, like timed automata, robust timed automata cannot be
determinized.
This result is somewhat unexpected, given that in temporal logic, the removal
of real-time equality constraints is known to lead to a decidable theory that
is closed under all boolean operations.
