Peak Estimation Recovery and Safety Analysis
Résumé
Peak Estimation aims to find the maximum value of a state function achieved by a dynamical system. This problem has been previously cast as a convex infinite-dimensional linear program on occupation measures, which can be approximately solved by a converging hierarchy of moment relaxations. In this letter, we present an algorithm to approximate optimal trajectories if the solutions to these relaxations satisfy rank constraints. We also extend peak estimation to maximin and safety analysis problems, providing a certificate that trajectories are bounded away from an unsafe set.
