Abstract

We illustrate TeQsim, a qualitative simulator for continuous dynamical systems that combines the expressive power of qualitative differential equations with temporal logic to constrain and refine the resulting predicted behaviors. Temporal logic is used to specify constraints that restrict the simulation to a region of the state space and to specify trajectories for input variables. A propositional lineardtime temporal logic is adopted, which is extended to a three valued logic that allows a formula to be conditionally entailed when quantitative information specified in the formula can be applied to a behavior to refine it. We present a formalization of the logic with correctness and completeness results for the adopted model checking algorithm. We show an example of the simulation of a nondautonomous dynamical system and illustrate possible application tasks, ranging from simulation to monitoring and control of continuous dynamical systems, where TeQsim can be applied.
