Abstract
This paper presents a neural network-based algorithm with soundness guarantees to study the stability of discrete-time linear switched systems. This algorithm follows a counterexample guided inductive synthesis (CEGIS) architecture: an iterative process alternating between the learner, which provides a candidate Lyapunov function, and the verifier which checks its validity over the whole domain. We choose a ReLU neural network as learner for its expressivity and flexibility, and a satisfiability module theories (SMT) solver as verifier. In addition, we introduce a post processing step to leverage a valid Lyapunov function from the neural network in case of failure of the CEGIS loop. Several examples demonstrate the algorithm’s efficacy.
