Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new approach for formal verification of hybrid systems. To do so, we present a new refinement proof technique, a weak refinement using step in...
When the time span of an event is imprecise, it can be represented by a fuzzy set, called a fuzzy time interval. In this paper, we propose a framework to represent, compute, and re...
