Undecidability in Rectangular Hybrid Automata Analysis
The undecidability of the reachability analysis in rectangular hybrid automata (RHA) poses challenges for verifying cyber-physical systems. This complexity was demonstrated through a reduction from the Halting problem of two counter machines by Henzinger et al. Additionally, the review of computabil
