Abstract

We propose a novel scalable parallel algorithm for synthesis of interdependent parameters from CTL specifications for non-linear dynamical systems. The method employs a symbolic representation of sets of parameter valuations in terms of the first-order theory of the reals. To demonstrate its practicability, we apply the method to a class of piecewise multi-affine dynamical systems representing dynamics of biological systems with complex non-linear behaviour.
