External Ellipsoidal Approximations for Set Evolution Equations

Abstract

In many applications, uncertainty and imprecision in control systems require the focus on reachable sets instead of single state vectors. Then, closed-loop controls also refer to these attainable sets leading to a class of set evolution problems. We suggest sufficient conditions for its well-posedness and for approximating their solutions by intersections of finitely many time-dependent ellipsoids characterized by solutions to a system of ordinary differential equations.
