Control of nondeterministic systems for bisimulation equivalence under partial information

Control of nondeterministic systems for bisimulation equivalence under partial information
Control of nondeterministic systems for bisimulation equivalence under partial information

In this article, we investigate the synthesis of a (possibly nondeterministic) supervisor, with partial information, such that the controlled nondeterministic plant is bisimulation equivalent to a nondeterministic specification. We derive a new necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a supervisor and provide an algorithm for the supervisor construction when one exists. The algorithm is exponential in the size of the plant and specification, a substantial improvement over the double exponential cost from exhaustive search. We show that the cases of complete information and deterministic control are special cases of the presented theory.

Abstract

In this article, we investigate the synthesis of a (possibly nondeterministic) supervisor, with partial information, such that the controlled nondeterministic plant is bisimulation equivalent to a nondeterministic specification. We derive a new necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a supervisor and provide an algorithm for the supervisor construction when one exists. The algorithm is exponential in the size of the plant and specification, a substantial improvement over the double exponential cost from exhaustive search. We show that the cases of complete information and deterministic control are special cases of the presented theory.
