Computable analysis for systems and control

Dr Pieter Collins (CWI, The Netherlands)

A formal theory of computation of real-valued and set-valued functions is important for the analysis and verification of nonlinear systems. In this talk, I will discuss Weihrauch's type-two theory of effectivity, in which Turing machines are used to functions on sequences. This provides a natural setting for computable analysis and topology, in which the computability and computation of operators on sets and maps can be studied. After outlining the basics of the theory, I will apply the techniques to discuss the computability of reachable, viable and invariant sets.
