We formally introduce IsaVODEs (Isabelle verification with Ordinary Differential Equations), a framework for the verification of cyber-physical systems. We describe the semantic foundations of the framework's formalisation in the Isabelle/HOL proof assistant. A user-friendly language specification based on a robust state model makes our framework flexible and adaptable to various engineering workflows. New additions to the framework increase both its expressivity and proof automation. Specifically, formalisations related to forward diamond correctness specifications, certification of unique solutions to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) as flows, and invariant reasoning for systems of ODEs contribute to the framework's scalability and usability. Various examples and an evaluation validate the effectiveness of our framework., Comment: Submitted to the Journal of Automated Reasoning

We define a fragment of metric first-order temporal logic formulas that guarantees the finiteness of their table representations. We extend our fragment's definition to cover the temporal dual operators trigger and release and show that our fragment is strictly larger than those previously used in the literature. We integrate these additions into an existing runtime verification tool and formally verify in Isabelle/HOL that the tool correctly outputs the table of constants that satisfy the monitored formula. Finally, we provide some example specifications that are now monitorable thanks to our contributions., Comment: 12 pages, conference, appendix

We extend a semantic verification framework for hybrid systems with the Isabelle/HOL proof assistant by an algebraic model for hybrid program stores, a shallow expression model for hybrid programs and their correctness specifications, and domain-specific deductive and calculational support. The new store model yields clean separations and dynamic local views of variables, e.g. discrete/continuous, mutable/immutable, program/logical, and enhanced ways of manipulating them using combinators, projections and framing. This leads to more local inference rules, procedures and tactics for reasoning with invariant sets, certifying solutions of hybrid specifications or calculating derivatives with increased proof automation and scalability. The new expression model provides more user-friendly syntax, better control of name spaces and interfaces connecting the framework with real-world modelling languages., Comment: 18 pages, submitted to FM 2021

We present simple new Hoare logics and refinement calculi for hybrid systems in the style of differential dynamic logic. (Refinement) Kleene algebra with tests is used for reasoning about the program structure and generating verification conditions at this level. Lenses capture hybrid program stores in a generic algebraic way. The approach has been formalised with the Isabelle/HOL proof assistant. A number of examples explains the workflow with the resulting verification components., Comment: 13 pages, no figures, conference

We present a semantic framework for the deductive verification of hybrid systems with Isabelle/HOL. It supports reasoning about the temporal evolutions of hybrid programs in the style of differential dynamic logic modelled by flows or invariant sets for vector fields. We introduce the semantic foundations of this framework and summarise their Isabelle formalisation as well as the resulting verification components. A series of simple examples shows our approach at work., Comment: 43 pages, 2 figures, journal
