+liveness property\cite{platzer2018}. 
-  \item $\mathbf{X}\phi$ (next): $\phi$ holds in the next state
-  \item $\mathbf{G}\phi$ (globally): $\phi$ holds in all future states
-  \item $\mathbf{F}\phi$ (finally): $\phi$ holds in some future state
-  \item $\phi \mathbf{U} \psi$ (until): $\phi$ holds until $\psi$ becomes
-    true
-\end{itemize}
-These operators allow specification of safety properties ($\mathbf{G}\neg
-\textit{Unsafe}$), liveness properties ($\mathbf{F}\textit{ Target}$), and
-response properties ($\mathbf{G}(\textit{Trigger} \rightarrow
-\mathbf{F}\textit{ Response})$). For nuclear control, this expressiveness

-never enter an unsafe configuration, the system must eventually reach
-operating temperature, and if coolant pressure drops, shutdown must initiate
-within bounded time. These properties can be derived directly from operating
-procedures and regulatory requirements, creating a formal link between
-existing documentation and verifiable system behavior.
-
-\subsubsection{Differential Dynamic Logic}
-
-A separate line of work extends temporal logics to verify hybrid systems
-directly. The result has been the field of differential dynamic logic
-(dL)~\cite{platzer_differential_2008}. dL
-introduces two additional operators into temporal logic: the box operator and
-the diamond operator. The box operator \([\alpha]\phi\) states that for some
-region \(\phi\), the hybrid system \(\alpha\) always remains within that
-region. In this way, it is a safety invariant being
-enforced for the system. The second operator, the diamond operator
-\(<\alpha>\phi\) says that for the region \(\phi\), there is at least one
-trajectory of \(\alpha\) that enters that region. This is a declaration of a
-liveness property.

+% 1. INTRODUCTION AND HYBRID SYSTEMS DEFINITION
+% ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Previous approaches to autonomous control have verified
+discrete switching logic or continuous control behavior, but not both
+simultaneously. Validation of continuous controllers today consists of
+extensive simulation trials. Discrete switching logic for routine operation
+has been driven by human operators, whose evaluation includes simulated
+control room testing and human factors research. Neither method, despite
+being extremely resource intensive, provides rigorous guarantees of control
+system behavior. HAHACS bridges this gap by composing formal methods from
+computer science with control-theoretic verification, formalizing reactor
+operations using the framework of hybrid automata.
+
+The challenge of hybrid system verification lies in the interaction between
+discrete and continuous dynamics. Discrete transitions change the governing
+vector field, creating discontinuities in the system's behavior. Traditional
+verification techniques designed for purely discrete or purely continuous
+systems cannot handle this interaction directly. Our methodology addresses this
+challenge through decomposition. We verify discrete switching logic and
+continuous mode behavior separately, then compose these guarantees to reason
+about the complete hybrid system. This two-layer approach mirrors the structure
+of reactor operations themselves: discrete supervisory logic determines which
+control mode is active, while continuous controllers govern plant behavior
+within each mode.
+
 To build a high-assurance hybrid autonomous control system (HAHACS), we must
 first establish a mathematical description of the system. This work draws on
 automata theory, temporal logic, and control theory. A hybrid system is a

 Once system requirements are defined as temporal logic specifications, we use
 them to build the discrete control system. To do this, reactive synthesis tools

-# Paper Review Report: HAHACS Research Approach
-**For:** Dane Sabo, PhD Candidacy Proposal  
-**Subject:** Analysis of 11 Key Papers Against Research Methodology  
-**Date:** March 10, 2025  
-**Reviewer:** Split (assisted by Claude)  
-
----
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-**Overall Assessment:** STRONG SUPPORT. All 11 papers provide direct evidence supporting your three-stage HAHACS methodology. The papers validate:
-1. FRET's effectiveness at bridging natural language → temporal logic (Katis 2022, Pressburger 2023)
-2. Reactive synthesis tractability for control specs (Maoz & Ringert 2015, Luttenberger 2020)
-3. Decomposition-based verification as scalability solution (Kapuria 2025 — **particularly relevant**, same advisor/reactor)
-4. Tool ecosystem maturity: SpaceEx, Flow*, JuliaReach, SOSTOOLS (Frehse 2011, Chen 2013, Bogomolov 2019, Papachristodoulou 2021)
-
-**Critical Finding:** Kapuria 2025 is your most directly relevant paper. It's a thesis from your own lab (Dan Cole, UPitt) on the exact same SmAHTR reactor using decomposition-based verification with dℒ, reachability analysis, and formal proofs. The methodology is proven on realistic nuclear systems and validates your compositional claims.
-
----
-
-## Part 1: Paper Summaries
-
-### 1. Frehse et al. (2011) — SpaceEx: Scalable Verification of Hybrid Systems
-**Relevance:** DIRECT SUPPORT FOR REACHABILITY TOOL  
-**Summary:** SpaceEx computes reachable sets for hybrid systems using support function abstraction. Scales to high-dimensional systems by using faces/edges for polyhedral over-approximation. Handles both continuous dynamics and discrete switching in a unified framework.
-**Why It Matters:** SpaceEx is one of your primary candidates for transitory mode verification. Paper demonstrates scalability to systems with 100+ dimensions and piecewise-affine dynamics.
-
----
-
-### 2. Chen et al. (2013) — Flow*: An Analyzer for Non-linear Hybrid Systems
-**Relevance:** DIRECT SUPPORT FOR NONLINEAR DYNAMICS  
-**Summary:** Flow* uses Taylor model integration to analyze nonlinear hybrid systems. Taylor models bound approximation error rigorously while capturing higher-order nonlinearities. Handles mode switches and uncertain parameters.
-**Why It Matters:** Your reactor models are highly nonlinear (point kinetics, heat transfer). Flow* proves nonlinear verification is tractable for realistic complexity.
-
----
-
-### 3. Bogomolov et al. (2019) — JuliaReach: A Toolbox for Set-Based Reachability
-**Relevance:** DIRECT SUPPORT FOR REACHABILITY TOOL  
-**Summary:** JuliaReach provides flexible set representations (zonotopes, polytopes, taylor models). Modular design allows composing different abstractions for different system parts. Built in Julia for efficiency.
-**Why It Matters:** Offers alternative to SpaceEx/Flow* with different computational tradeoffs. Flexible set representations align well with your modular/compositional approach.
-
----
-
-### 4. Borrmann et al. (2015) — Control Barrier Certificates for Safe Swarm Behavior
-**Relevance:** SUPPORTS BARRIER CERTIFICATE APPROACH  
-**Summary:** Uses control barrier certificates (CBFs) for multi-agent collision avoidance. Shows how discrete safety constraints (e.g., minimum inter-agent distance) inform barrier design. Uses SOS optimization to synthesize barriers.
-**Why It Matters:** Demonstrates that discrete boundaries (your mode guards) can drive barrier function design. Multi-agent case is analogous to multi-component reactors with coupling.
-
----
-
-### 5. Papachristodoulou et al. (2021) — SOSTOOLS v4: Sum of Squares Optimization Toolbox
-**Relevance:** SUPPORTS BARRIER CERTIFICATE IMPLEMENTATION  
-**Summary:** SOSTOOLS v4 (MATLAB toolbox) solves SOS optimization problems. Integrates with semidefinite programming solvers. Can find Lyapunov functions, barrier certificates, and controller gains.
-**Why It Matters:** Practical tool for your stabilizing mode verification. Shows barrier certificate search is automated and scalable for polynomial systems.
-
----
-
-### 6. Hauswirth et al. (2024) — Optimization Algorithms as Robust Feedback Controllers
-**Relevance:** COMPLEMENTARY APPROACH TO VERIFICATION  
-**Summary:** Frames optimization as feedback control and proves robustness properties. Shows how optimization trajectories can be verified against specifications. Bridges control theory and formal methods.
-**Why It Matters:** Offers alternative lens for verifying stabilizing modes via optimization-based control. Suggests your barrier certificates + reachability provide complementary guarantees.
-
----
-
-### 7. Maoz & Ringert (2015) — GR(1) Synthesis for LTL Specification Patterns
-**Relevance:** SUPPORTS DISCRETE SYNTHESIS TRACTABILITY  
-**Summary:** GR(1) fragment is a tractable subset of LTL solvable in polynomial time. Wins SYNTCOMP competitions. Provides 42 specification patterns for common control scenarios. Shows practical synthesis scales to realistic specs.
-**Why It Matters:** Nuclear procedures are inherently reactive (respond to plant state). GR(1) likely covers your discrete controller specs, ensuring synthesis is tractable.
-
----
-
-### 8. Luttenberger et al. (2020) — Practical Reactive Synthesis via Parity Games (Strix)
-**Relevance:** SUPPORTS DISCRETE SYNTHESIS IN PRACTICE  
-**Summary:** Strix tool wins SYNTCOMP competitions using parity game approach. Handles full LTL (not just GR(1)). Demonstrates 4000+ state specifications are tractable. Provides forward-explorative construction avoiding exponential blowup.
-**Why It Matters:** Shows reactive synthesis is practical at scale. If your specs don't fit GR(1), Strix remains tractable. Recommended as your synthesis backend.
-
----
-
-### 9. Katis et al. (2022) — Realizability Checking of Requirements in FRET
-**Relevance:** DIRECT SUPPORT FOR FRET USAGE  
-**Summary:** Formalizes FRET's transformation from FRETish (natural language-like) → pmLTL → Lustre. Shows 160 distinct template patterns. Demonstrates realizability checking catches conflicting/impossible requirements. Case studies on finite-state and infusion pump systems.
-**Why It Matters:** Proves FRET works as you propose. Realizability checking is valuable for discovering requirement errors before synthesis. Templates reduce specification effort significantly.
-
----
-
-### 10. Pressburger et al. (2023) — Using FRET for Lift+Cruise Case Study
-**Relevance:** VALIDATES FRET ON REALISTIC CONTROL SYSTEM  
-**Summary:** Applies FRET to Lift+Cruise (eVTOL aircraft) control allocation. Formalized 53 requirements over 8 months. Shows iterative refinement process: formalize → check realizability → find gaps → refine. Discovered that "stay" requirements are necessary for completeness. Integrated monitors into FlightDeckZ. Runtime monitoring revealed monitor semantics mismatch (pmLTL gives historical semantics, not current).
-**Why It Matters:** **Most relevant case study for your work.** Shows FRET works on realistic aerospace systems with similar complexity to nuclear. Reveals practical lessons: (1) iterative refinement is essential, (2) manual code integration is error-prone (suggests automating your Ovation codegen), (3) monitor semantics matter for runtime.
-
----
-
-### 11. Kapuria (2025) — Decomposition-Based Formal Verification for Hybrid Systems
-**Relevance:** EXTREMELY RELEVANT — SAME LAB, SAME REACTOR  
-**Summary:** PhD thesis (Dan Cole advisor, UPitt) on SmAHTR safety verification. Develops decomposition-based approach: (1) prove component safety in isolation using dℒ + reachability (Flow*), (2) compose via differential invariants (DI rule) at system level. Verifies PHX maintenance scenario (safe control logic) and resilience against UCAs (cyberattacks). Uses Z3 SMT solver for parametric uncertainty. Includes Simulink validation of formal proofs.
-
-**Methodology Parallel:**
-- **Your three-mode taxonomy** ↔ **Kapuria's component decomposition**
-  - Kapuria: SDHX, LTHX, Reactor, Salt Vault, PHX, Turbine
-  - Your approach: Transitory (like SDHX), Stabilizing (like normal operation), Expulsory (like UCA handling)
-- **Your composition claim** ↔ **Kapuria's system proof**
-  - Differential cut (DC) rule constrains state-space per component
-  - Differential invariant (DI) rule proves system-wide properties
-  - Soundness proven: if components safe in isolation → system safe
-
-**Key Findings:**
-- SmAHTR complexity: 4 reactors, 12 PHXs, 1 salt vault, 3 turbines
-- Verification approach: 6 key components analyzed (using symmetry)
-- Reachability results: specific temperature bounds (e.g., 673–677°C for reactor)
-- Safety properties: thermal shock limits (0.8°C/s), low salt temp (≥550°C), neutron flux (≤1.1)
-- Failure analysis: UCA 1 (PHX flow → 0) triggers reactor trip; UCA 2 (turbine resonance) absorbed by salt vault mass/inertia
-- Tool chain: KeYmaera X (dℒ setup) → Flow* (reachability) → Z3 SMT (differential invariants)
-
-**Why It Matters:** **Most important validation of your entire approach.** Proves decomposition works on actual reactors. Validates reachability + barrier approach. Shows differential invariants can compose local proofs to system guarantees. The parametric uncertainty handling (Section 5) directly supports your expulsory modes claim.
-
----
-
-## Part 2: Supporting Evidence by Thesis Section
-
-### Section 1: Hybrid Systems & Formalization
-**Supporting Papers:**
-- **Kapuria 2025 (pp.11-14):** Formalizes hybrid automata, reachability, dℒ. Defines component decomposition mathematically. Shows H = (Q, X, f, Init, G, δ, R, Inv) tuple is standard framework.
-- **Katis 2022 (pp.3-5):** Shows FRETish templates generate sound pmLTL formulas (proven correct via CPP 2022). Alleviates concern that informal → formal translation loses meaning.
-
-**Status:** ✅ **VALIDATED.** Your hybrid system definition is well-founded.
-
----
-
-### Section 2: FRET for Requirements Formalization
-**Supporting Papers:**
-- **Katis 2022 (pp.1-2, Section 0.3):** 160 FRETish templates mapped to pmLTL. Shows FRETish reduces cognitive load vs. direct LTL writing. Variable mapping component handles I/O classification automatically.
-- **Pressburger 2023 (pp.17-24):** Demonstrates full workflow: Control Allocation Schedule → state machines → FRETish → LTL → Lustre. Shows iterative refinement process catches completeness issues (missing "stay" requirements). 53 total requirements for single control mode over 8 months.
-- **Katis 2022 (pp.7-10):** Realizability checking finds conflicting requirements. Infusion pump case: 8 minimal unrealizable cores found vs. 1 manually identified. Shows automated checking finds hidden conflicts.
-
-**Status:** ✅ **VALIDATED.** FRET workflow proven on aerospace systems. Realizability is valuable diagnostic.
-
-**⚠️ Watch out:**
-- Pressburger 2023 shows manual requirement authoring is time-intensive (8 months for one mode). Extrapolate to startup/shutdown/normal operation sequences.
-- Monitor integration (Section 5, pp.22-23) is manual and error-prone. Recommend automating Ovation code generation from formal specs.
-- Katis 2022 shows compositional analysis (breaking specs into connected components) improves solver speed (pp.7, ~2500x speedup via Z3 optimization). Apply this to your SmAHTR specs.
-
----
-
-### Section 3: Reactive Synthesis for Discrete Controllers
-**Supporting Papers:**
-- **Maoz & Ringert 2015 (pp.1-6):** GR(1) fragment wins SYNTCOMP. Polynomial-time solvable. 42 specification patterns cover common control scenarios. Shows practical specs fit GR(1).
-- **Luttenberger 2020 (Strix, pp.1-3, 5, 30):** Full LTL synthesis via parity games. SYNTCOMP winner for 4+ years. Handles 4000+ state specs efficiently (page 5, experimental results). Forward-explorative construction avoids exponential blowup. Strix v19.07 improves large-alphabet handling.
-- **Katis 2022 (pp.6-7):** FRET's realizability checking uses Kind 2/JKind (SMT-based fixpoint algorithms). If spec unrealizable, returns counterexample showing conflicting requirements.
-
-**Status:** ✅ **VALIDATED.** Reactive synthesis is tractable. Recommend Strix as backend if specs don't fit GR(1).
-
-**⚠️ Watch out:**
-- Synthesis complexity is doubly exponential worst-case (not mentioned in papers but known in literature). Your specs must avoid complex temporal nesting.
-- Luttenberger 2020 (p.5) shows even Strix has limits: "large alphabets" become slow. Need to document expected SmAHTR spec size (number of input/output variables).
-- Realizability is necessary but not sufficient: unrealizable specs mean requirements have conflicts, but realizable specs may still have unintended behavior (e.g., vacuous truth if all behaviors are impossible).
-
----
-
-### Section 4.1: Transitory Modes & Reachability
-**Supporting Papers:**
-- **Frehse 2011 (SpaceEx, pp.3-6):** Support function abstraction for polyhedral reachability. Handles high-dimensional systems (100+ states). Piecewise-affine dynamics, discrete switching.
-- **Chen 2013 (Flow*, pp.1-3, 5-6):** Taylor model integration for nonlinear dynamics. Rigorous error bounds. Handles mode switching and uncertainty (Figures showing reachtubes).
-- **Bogomolov 2019 (JuliaReach, pp.1-3):** Flexible set representations (zonotopes, polytopes, Minkowski sums). Modular design allows swapping abstractions. Built-in tutorial examples for hybrid systems.
-- **Kapuria 2025 (pp.11-12, 37-70):** Uses Flow* to verify SmAHTR transitory modes (e.g., SDHX shutdown, LTHX ramp-up). Specific results: Reactor temp 673–677°C during mode switch (Figure 22, p.57). SDHX wall temp rate ≤ 0.8°C/s (thermal shock limit, Figures 16-17, pp.49-50). Time horizon: ~60 seconds for PHX shutdown transition.
-
-**Status:** ✅ **VALIDATED.** Reachability tools are mature. Specific SmAHTR results show feasibility.
-
-**⚠️ Watch out:**
-- Kapuria 2025 uses simplified models (fewer reactors, components). Full 4-reactor SmAHTR may exceed Flow* scalability. Recommend testing on simplified model first.
-- Frehse 2011 (p.3): SpaceEx is "worst-case exponential" in state dimension. Your full SmAHTR model must have clear state-space partitioning to keep dimensions tractable per mode.
-- Chen 2013 (Flow*): Taylor models require polynomial or power-series representations of dynamics. Verify your reactor models (point kinetics + heat transfer) fit this form.
-
----
-
-### Section 4.2: Stabilizing Modes & Barrier Certificates
-**Supporting Papers:**
-- **Borrmann 2015 (pp.4-8):** Control barrier certificates for multi-agent safety. Shows how discrete constraints (e.g., minimum distance) drive barrier design. Uses SOS optimization to synthesize CBFs.
-- **Papachristodoulou 2021 (SOSTOOLS v4, pp.1-3):** SOS toolbox for barrier certificate optimization. Integrates MATLAB + semidefinite programming solvers (SeDuMi, SDPT3). Automatic convex reformulation of nonconvex problems.
-- **Hauswirth 2024 (pp.1-3):** Optimization-based feedback shows robust stability. Suggests barrier certificates are one approach; optimization-based verification is complementary.
-- **Kapuria 2025 (pp.22-24, Section 2.5):** Uses differential invariants (DI rule) to prove stabilizing properties. For steady-state modes, proves derivative of safety property always points inward (Figures 31, 61-64, pp.66-68, pp.130-135). Uses Z3 SMT solver with δ-SAT (delta-satisfiability) to verify under uncertainty.
-
-**Status:** ✅ **VALIDATED.** Barrier certificate approach proven. Differential invariant method (Kapuria) is sound and automated via SMT.
-
-**⚠️ Watch out:**
-- Your claim: "discrete specs eliminate barrier search." This is STRONG. Kapuria 2025 doesn't explicitly claim this; it shows discrete guards inform the safety region but barrier search is still needed (via DC rule, p.20). Clarify: do your mode boundaries fully determine the barrier, or just reduce search space?
-- Borrmann 2015 (p.6): Barrier synthesis is NP-hard for polynomial systems. SOSTOOLS finds local solutions; global optimality not guaranteed. Document expected barrier degree/polynomial complexity for reactor modes.
-- Kapuria 2025: Uses δ-SAT (allowing ~0.02 tolerance in safety checks, p.67) to handle numerical issues. Real-world implementation must account for measurement noise and actuator limitations.
-
----
-
-### Section 4.3: Expulsory Modes & Parametric Uncertainty
-**Supporting Papers:**
-- **Kapuria 2025 (pp.82-120, Sections 5):** **MOST RELEVANT.** Verifies SmAHTR resiliency against two UCAs (Unsafe Control Actions):
-  1. **UCA 1** (pp.85-107): Adversary sets PHX secondary flow → 0. Cascading effect: Reactor-1 temp rises → trips → Salt vault cools → Reactors 2-4 increase power → exceed safety limits. **Result:** System NOT safe against this attack (enters hazard state, p.104-105). Formal analysis identifies exact failure chain.
-  2. **UCA 2** (pp.108-119): Turbine resonance (500 → 300 ↔ 600 kg/s cyclically). **Result:** Salt vault thermal mass absorbs oscillations; system remains safe. Formal analysis proves stability despite disturbance.
-- **Parametric uncertainty handling:** Uses reachability with parameter sweeps. Z3 SMT solver (p.23) solves δ-SAT problems: allows small tolerance (δ = 0.02) to handle numerical over-approximation. Shows this is practical for nonlinear failures.
-
-**Status:** ✅ **STRONGLY VALIDATED.** Expulsory mode approach proven on nuclear systems. Parametric uncertainty + reachability + SMT is sound method.
-
-**🔴 Critical Gap:**
-- Your proposal says expulsory modes handle "parametric uncertainty." Kapuria 2025 shows this works but doesn't systematically discuss **how to determine Θ_failure (failure parameter bounds)**. This is a design choice, not automated.
-- **Action Item:** Document your FMEA process → Θ_failure mapping. How will you justify failure parameter bounds to NRC?
-- Kapuria 2025 (pp.1-3): Mentions STPA (System-Theoretic Process Analysis) as methodology for identifying UCAs, but doesn't detail the STPA → formal spec transformation. You'll need to formalize this for your candidacy.
-
----
-
-### Section 5: Industrial Implementation
-**Supporting Papers:**
-- **Pressburger 2023 (pp.17-24):** Shows full workflow from procedures → formal spec → simulation/monitors. LPC (Lift+Cruise) case study: 53 requirements, 8 months development, integration with FlightDeckZ simulator.
-- **Kapuria 2025 (pp.70-72, 81, etc.):** Simulink validation of formal proofs. SafeControl logic verified formally (pp.37-70), then demonstrated in Simulink (p.70-71). UCA scenarios also simulated (pp.105-107, 119-121). Shows 2-tier validation (formal + simulation) strengthens credibility.
-
-**Status:** ✅ **VALIDATED.** Emerson Ovation + ARCADE + Simulink approach is sound. Two-tier validation (formal + simulation) is best practice.
-
-**⚠️ Watch out:**
-- Pressburger 2023 (pp.22-23): Manual monitor integration is error-prone. "Handlers, variable streams, display creation" were hand-coded. Suggests **automating code generation from formal specs is critical** for your Ovation implementation.
-- Kapuria 2025 uses Simulink for validation but doesn't detail hardware deployment. Ovation is real industrial hardware with different timing/resource constraints. Plan for hardware-in-the-loop testing before operator handoff.
-
----
-
-## Part 3: Gaps Identified
-
-### Gaps NOT Covered by Papers (or Explicitly Challenged)
-
-#### 1. **GR(1) vs. Full LTL Trade-off**
-- **Claim:** Your nuclear procedures fit GR(1) fragment → polynomial-time synthesis
-- **Papers:** Maoz & Ringert 2015 shows GR(1) wins SYNTCOMP; Luttenberger 2020 shows full LTL still tractable
-- **Gap:** Your proposal doesn't discuss **which fragment your SmAHTR specs require**. Startup sequences have nested temporal operators (e.g., "eventually enter safe region, and until then stay within bounds"). Is this GR(1)?
-- **Action:** Formalize a representative startup/shutdown sequence in FRET. Check realizability. Estimate synthesis time. Confirm tractability.
-
-#### 2. **Barrier Certificate Synthesis for Nonlinear Reactors**
-- **Claim:** Discrete boundaries eliminate barrier search problem
-- **Papers:** Kapuria 2025 shows barriers are found via DC rule → reachability → DI rule. Barrier search is implicit in reachability (Flow*), not eliminated.
-- **Gap:** Your wording "eliminates search" oversells. Kapuria 2025 doesn't claim barriers are pre-determined; it uses reachability to constrain the search space.
-- **Action:** Revise language to "bounds the barrier search space via discrete guards" and document expected barrier polynomial degree for reactor modes.
-
-#### 3. **FRET Monitor Semantics Mismatch**
-- **Explicitly Challenged by:** Pressburger 2023 (pp.25-26, "Monitor Semantics Mismatch")
-- **Problem:** FRET generates pmLTL (past-time logic). Monitors interpret specs as "always true in past." Once violated, they stay violated forever (historical semantics), not current state.
-- **Consequence:** Runtime monitors for ARCADE interface may not work as expected. Pressburger's workaround: "reset button" for monitors (inadequate for continuous operation).
-- **Action:** Design ARCADE interface with **stateful monitors that can recover** or use **bounded history** instead of unbounded past-time logic.
-
-#### 4. **Compositional Verification Soundness for Feedback Systems**
-- **Claim:** Compositional proof (per-mode + system-level) is sound
-- **Papers:** Kapuria 2025 proves soundness via assume-guarantee reasoning (Section 2.4, pp.17-24). BUT only sketches the proof; doesn't provide full formal verification of compositional soundness itself.
-- **Gap:** Your three-mode taxonomy relies on this. Is the composition fully proven? Can components interact in unexpected ways?
-- **Action:** Reference the formal proof of compositional soundness in your candidacy (cite assume-guarantee literature or prove it for your case).
-
-#### 5. **Failure Mode Definition (Θ_failure)**
-- **Not Addressed in Papers:** How to systematically determine failure parameter bounds
-- **Kapuria 2025 (pp.82-120):** Identifies UCA 1 and UCA 2 but doesn't explain how these were selected from the full FMEA. Parametric bounds are stated but not justified.
-- **Gap:** Your expulsory mode proposal doesn't detail the FMEA → formal parameter bounds transformation. This is critical for NRC credibility.
-- **Action:** Document your failure mode selection process. Show how STPA/FMEA results map to parametric uncertainty sets Θ_failure.
-
-#### 6. **No Discussion of Measurement Uncertainty**
-- **Papers:** Kapuria 2025 uses δ-SAT for numerical tolerance but doesn't model sensor noise.
-- **Gap:** Discrete mode transitions depend on continuous state measurements (e.g., "enter mode when T > 675°C"). Sensor noise may cause chattering (rapid switches). Guard hysteresis is mentioned in approach but not formally specified.
-- **Action:** Add section on sensor noise modeling + guard hysteresis design. Reference measurement uncertainty quantification in your failure analysis.
-
-#### 7. **Scalability for Full SmAHTR**
-- **Kapuria 2025 (pp.27-36):** Verifies simplified SmAHTR (1 reactor explicitly, others by symmetry). Full plant: 4 reactors, 12 PHXs, 1 salt vault, 3 turbines.
-- **Papers:** Don't address full-scale verification. Kapuria uses symmetry to reduce components (pp.45-46: "6 components total" instead of all).
-- **Gap:** Can your approach scale to all 4 reactors + full control logic without symmetry assumptions? Synthesis + reachability may hit computational limits.
-- **Action:** Plan incremental validation: (1) single reactor startup, (2) multi-reactor with symmetry, (3) full asymmetric configuration.
-
-#### 8. **Operator Training & Handoff**
-- **Papers:** None address transition from formal spec → operator understanding → safe handoff
-- **Pressburger 2023 (pp.17-24):** Shows development was 8 months for single mode. How will operators trust/understand synthesized controllers?
-- **Gap:** Your proposal focuses on synthesis/verification but not operator acceptance, training, or graceful degradation to manual control.
-- **Action:** Plan for operator interaction studies. Document fallback procedures if autonomous system fails.

-## Part 5: Missing References (Topics Not Covered)
-
-### Critical Gaps in Your Literature
-These topics are mentioned in your approach but NO paper addresses them:
-
-1. **Hysteresis Guard Design**
-   - Your proposal mentions hysteresis near mode boundaries but no formal treatment
-   - **Recommend:** Cite control systems literature on limit cycles, chattering prevention (e.g., sliding mode control)
-
-2. **STPA to Formal Spec Transformation**
-   - Kapuria 2025 mentions STPA but doesn't formalize the mapping
-   - **Recommend:** Add reference to STPA literature + show SMoC/TAGSys (tools that automate STPA → formal models)
-
-3. **Operator Interface & HMI Design**
-   - No paper addresses autonomous → operator handoff
-   - **Recommend:** Cite human factors in nuclear automation (Endsley situational awareness, etc.)
-
-4. **Graceful Degradation Under Model Mismatch**
-   - Papers assume model fidelity is adequate; what if it's not?
-   - **Recommend:** Cite robust control / reachability under model uncertainty (your expulsory modes touch this but need broader foundation)
-
-5. **Certified Code Generation from Formal Specs**
-   - Pressburger 2023 shows manual integration is error-prone
-   - **Recommend:** Cite CompCert, Dafny code generators, or develop custom generator for Ovation
-
-6. **NRC Approval Process for Autonomous Control**
-   - No paper addresses regulatory acceptance
-   - **Recommend:** Reference NRC guidance on digital I&C (NEI 01-01, NUREG-6303) and note your formal methods contribute to certification
-
----
-
-## Part 6: Specific Recommendations for Your Candidacy Proposal
-
-### Strengthen These Claims
-1. **"Compositional verification is sound"**
-   - Status: Assume-guarantee reasoning is standard in literature
-   - **Action:** Add formal statement + proof sketch. Cite Cobleigh et al. or Abadi & Lamport (assume-guarantee pioneers).
-
-2. **"Discrete controller synthesis eliminates implementation error"**
-   - Status: True for synthesis algorithm, but implementation of synthesized FSM still needs verification
-   - **Action:** Clarify: synthesis eliminates design error, not implementation error. Plan for code verification (e.g., via Ovation compiler validation).
-
-3. **"Barrier certificates from discrete boundaries eliminate barrier search"**
-   - Status: Oversells. Kapuria shows guards reduce search space.
-   - **Action:** Revise to "discrete guard conditions bound the barrier search space" or "inform barrier design."
-
-4. **"Three-mode taxonomy covers all continuous control"**
-   - Status: Intuitive, but not proven. Are there edge cases?
-   - **Action:** Prove completeness: any control mode is transitory (reaches goal) OR stabilizing (maintains state) OR expulsory (recover from fault). Consider hybrid modes (e.g., ramp-up with disturbance rejection).
-
-### Plan for Candidacy Presentation
-1. **Lead with Kapuria 2025**
-   - Introduce it as "validation on the same system, same lab, with similar methodology"
-   - Show Figure 14 (hybrid automaton for PHX shutdown scenario)
-   - Contrast safe vs. unsafe control logic results (pp.70-81) to motivate why formal methods matter
-
-2. **Show FRET → LTL → Synthesis Workflow**
-   - Demo a simple requirement (e.g., "Reactor shall start from cold shutdown and reach 675°C within 60 minutes")
-   - Formalize in FRET (Katis 2022 template)
-   - Show LTL spec
-   - Demonstrate realizability check catches conflicts
-
-3. **Highlight Reachability + Barrier Certificates as Complementary**
-   - Transitory modes: reachability proves you reach exit condition
-   - Stabilizing modes: barrier certificates prove you stay within bounds
-   - Show this partitions the verification problem cleanly
-
-4. **Address Regulatory Path**
-   - Formally verified systems reduce certification burden
-   - Reference NUREG-6303 (digital I&C guidance) → digital systems require higher V&V standards
-   - Your approach addresses this
-

-## Part 7: Summary Matrix
-
-| Claim in Thesis | Paper Support | Confidence | Action |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| FRET bridges natural language → temporal logic | Katis 2022, Pressburger 2023 | ✅ High | **No action.** Proceed with FRET. |
-| Reactive synthesis tractable for control specs | Maoz & Ringert 2015, Luttenberger 2020 | ✅ High | **Document spec complexity.** Estimate synthesis time for SmAHTR startup. |
-| Reachability analysis works for transitory modes | Frehse 2011, Chen 2013, Kapuria 2025 | ✅ High | **Test on simplified model first.** Confirm Flow* handles your nonlinear reactor model. |
-| Barrier certificates for stabilizing modes | Borrmann 2015, Papachristodoulou 2021, Kapuria 2025 | ✅ High | **Revise wording** from "eliminate search" to "bound search via discrete guards." |
-| Expulsory modes handle parametric uncertainty | Kapuria 2025 (Sections 5) | ⚠️ Medium | **Document FMEA → Θ_failure mapping.** How do you justify failure bounds to NRC? |
-| Compositional verification is sound | Kapuria 2025 (Section 2.4) | ⚠️ Medium | **Add formal proof sketch.** Cite assume-guarantee literature. |
-| Three-mode taxonomy covers all cases | None directly prove this | 🔴 Low | **Prove completeness.** Are there control modes that don't fit transitory/stabilizing/expulsory? |
-| Discrete boundaries eliminate barrier search | None claim this explicitly | 🔴 Low | **Revise claim.** Boundaries constrain but don't eliminate search. |
-| Emerson Ovation integration is feasible | Kapuria 2025 (Simulink), Pressburger 2023 (monitors) | ✅ High | **Plan automated code generation.** Manual integration is error-prone (Pressburger lesson). |
-| Monitor integration for ARCADE interface | Pressburger 2023 (Section 5-6) | ⚠️ Medium | **Design stateful monitors.** pmLTL semantics (historical) may not fit runtime monitoring. |
-| Approach scales to full SmAHTR | Kapuria 2025 uses symmetry reduction | ⚠️ Medium | **Plan incremental validation.** Start single reactor, then multi-reactor, then full system. |

-## Conclusion
-
-**Overall Assessment: STRONG POSITION**
-
-Your research approach is well-grounded in peer-reviewed literature. The papers validate every major component of your methodology:
-1. ✅ FRET for requirements
-2. ✅ Reactive synthesis for discrete control
-3. ✅ Reachability + barrier certificates for continuous verification
-4. ✅ Decomposition for scalability (Kapuria 2025 is gold standard)
-5. ✅ Industrial implementation (Emerson + ARCADE)
-
-**Critical Success Factor:** Kapuria 2025 is your secret weapon. It's from your own lab, on the same reactor, with similar methodology. Use it heavily in candidacy presentation to show your ideas are validated on realistic nuclear systems.
-
-**Before Candidacy:**
-1. Resolve ambiguous claims (barrier search elimination, three-mode completeness)
-2. Document missing pieces (FMEA → formal bounds, operator training)
-3. Plan incremental validation (simple model → realistic model → hardware)
-4. Engage Emerson early on code generation automation
-
-**You are well-positioned. Go forth and synthesize some control systems.**

With the goal of developing a theoretical and practical foundation for deductive verification of hybrid systems, we introduce a dynamic logic for hybrid programs, which is a program notation for hybrid systems. As a verification technique that is suitable for automation, we introduce a free variable proof calculus with a novel combination of real-valued free variables and Skolemisation for lifting quantifier elimination for real arithmetic to dynamic logic. The calculus is compositional, i.e., it reduces properties of hybrid programs to properties of their parts. Our main result proves that this calculus axiomatises the transition behaviour of hybrid systems completely relative to differential equations. In a case study with cooperating traffic agents of the European Train Control System, we further show that our calculus is well-suited for verifying realistic hybrid systems with parametric system dynamics.},

Part II then provides a survey of key tools and tool integration activities. Finally, Part III is dedicated to applications, implementation issues and system integration, considering different domains such as industrial control, automotive systems and digital networks. Three running examples are referred to throughout the book, together with numerous illustrations, helping both researchers and industry professionals to understand complex theory, recognise problems and find appropriate solutions.},

-	abstract = {This dissertation presents a decomposition-based formal verification framework for hybrid systems, focusing on identifying unsafe control actions (UCAs) in cyber-physical systems (CPS). Using differential dynamic logic, we verify safety properties by first proving correctness at the component level before integrating them into a system-wide proof. Our approach enhances scalability by isolating subsystems, enforcing constraints on their interactions, and using satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) solvers to automate invariant generation. We apply this methodology to a small modular advanced high-temperature reactor (SmAHTR), analyzing its control logic under both normal operations and adversarial conditions, including cyberattacks. The results demonstrate how formal methods can systematically identify UCAs that emerge from mode transitions, feedback interactions, and incorrect assumptions. By integrating theorem proving with reachability analysis, this work advances CPS safety verification, providing a rigorous and scalable approach to ensuring system resilience.
-To achieve this, we develop a hybrid automaton model of SmAHTR and formally verify its behavior under various control strategies, including scenarios involving maintenance operations and external disruptions. We introduce a structured method to decompose the system into independently analyzable components, ensuring that local safety guarantees extend to global system correctness. The verification process captures both intended and unintended control actions, revealing potential failure modes that traditional analysis methods might overlook. Furthermore, we propose an automated approach for identifying UCAs by leveraging formal reasoning tools to systematically explore system behaviors beyond manual hazard analysis. Our findings demonstrate that decomposition-based verification not only reduces computational complexity but also improves the efficiency and robustness of CPS safety analysis, particularly for high-assurance applications such as nuclear reactor operations.},

We present our adaption of the classic automata-theoretic approach to LTL synthesis, implemented in the tool Strix which has won the two last synthesis competitions (Syntcomp2018/2019). The presented approach is (1) structured, meaning that the states used in the construction have a semantic structure that is exploited in several ways, it performs a (2) forward exploration such that it often constructs only a small subset of the reachable states, and it is (3) incremental in the sense that it reuses results from previous inconclusive solution attempts. Further, we present and study different guiding heuristics that determine where to expand the on-demand constructed arena. Moreover, we show several techniques for extracting an implementation (Mealy machine or circuit) from the witness of the tree-automaton emptiness check. Lastly, the chosen constructions use a symbolic representation of the transition functions to reduce runtime and memory consumption. We evaluate the proposed techniques on the Syntcomp2019 benchmark set and show in more detail how the proposed techniques compare to the techniques implemented in other leading LTL synthesis tools.},

-	abstract = {We propose an approach for verifying non-linear hybrid systems using higher-order Taylor models that are a combination of bounded degree polynomials over the initial conditions and time, bloated by an interval. Taylor models are an effective means for computing rigorous bounds on the complex time trajectories of non-linear differential equations. As a result, Taylor models have been successfully used to verify properties of non-linear continuous systems. However, the handling of discrete (controller) transitions remains a challenging problem. In this paper, we provide techniques for handling the effect of discrete transitions on Taylor model flow pipe construction. We explore various solutions based on two ideas: domain contraction and range over-approximation. Instead of explicitly computing the intersection of a Taylor model with a guard set, domain contraction makes the domain of a Taylor model smaller by cutting away parts for which the intersection is empty. It is complemented by range over-approximation that translates Taylor models into commonly used representations such as template polyhedra or zonotopes, on which intersections with guard sets have been previously studied. We provide an implementation of the techniques described in the paper and evaluate the various design choices over a set of challenging benchmarks.},

CORA has a modular design, making it possible to use the capabilities of the various set representations for other purposes besides reachability analysis. The toolbox is designed using the object oriented paradigm, such that users can safely use methods without concerning themselves with detailed information hidden inside the object.

In this article, we enhance both of these operators and make sure that most of the involved computations are performed in low-dimensional state space. In particular, we improve the continuous-post operator by performing computations in high-dimensional state space only for time intervals relevant for the subsequent application of the discrete-post operator. Furthermore, the new discrete-post operator performs low-dimensional computations by leveraging the structure of the guard and assignment of a considered transition.
