Logic & Proofs

Logic for Hybrid Systems

The most canonical papers are the original complete journal article [4], an elegant Hilbert calculus with the complete proof theory [12], and the modern differential-form version of differential dynamic logic [18]. The technical survey from a LICS'12 tutorial [13] is insightful. A more recent but less complete survey focusing on basic intuition, examples and applications is in SCP [28]. The most comprehensive and very readable resource is in the textbook [20].
