Satisfaction of Linear Temporal Logic Specifications Through Recurrence Tools for Hybrid Systems
In this article, we formulate the problem of satisfying a linear temporal logic formula on a linear plant with output feedback, through a recent hybrid systems formalism. We relate this problem to the notion of recurrence introduced for the considered formalism, and we then extend Lyapunov-like conditions for recurrence of an open, unbounded set. One of the proposed relaxed conditions allows certifying recurrence of a suitable set, and this guarantees that the high-level evolution of the plant satisfies the formula, without relying on discretizations of the plant. Simulations illustrate the proposed approach.
