Integration Graphs: A Class of Decidable Hybrid Systems

Integration Graphs are a computational model developed in the attempt to identify simple Hybrid Systems with decidable analysis problems. We start with the class of constant slope hybrid systems (cshs), in which the right hand side of all differential equations is an integer constant. We refer to continuous variables whose right hand side constants are always 1 as timers. All other continuous variables are called integrators. The first result shown in the paper is that simple questions such as reachability of a given state are undecidable for even this simple class of systems.
