Abstract

We present an algorithm that quickly finds falsifying inputs for hybrid systems, i.e., inputs that steer the system towards violation of a given temporal logic requirement. Our method is based on a probabilistically directed search of an increasingly fine grained spatial and temporal discretization of the input space. A key feature is that it adapts to the difficulty of a problem at hand, specifically to the local complexity of each input segment, as needed for falsification. In experiments with standard benchmarks, our approach shows comparable or better performance to existing techniques, while at the same time being relatively simple.
