An attractive feature of such systems is easy composition, which is facilitated by their purely digital interface. A particularly promising application domain of thresholded hybrid systems is digital integrated circuits: Modern digital circuit design considers them as a composition of Millions and even Billions of elementary logic gates, like inverters, <span>OR</span> and <span>AND</span>. Since every such logic gate is eventually implemented as an electronic circuit, however, which exhibits a behavior that is governed by some ODE system, thresholded hybrid systems are ideally suited for making the transition from the analog to the digital world rigorous.</div><div>In this paper, we prove that the mapping from digital input signals to digital output signals is continuous for a large class of thresholded hybrid systems. Moreover, we show that, under some mild conditions regarding causality, this continuity also continues to hold for arbitrary compositions, which in turn guarantees that the composition faithfully captures the analog reality. By applying our generic results to some recently developed thresholded hybrid gate models, both for single-input single-output gates like inverters and for a two-input CMOS <span>NOR</span> gate, we show that they are continuous.

We introduce two notions, forward and backward robustness, to characterize the robustness of a system against sensor attacks as the loss of safety. To reason about robustness, we introduce two simulation distances, forward and backward simulation distances, which are defined based on the behavioral distances between the original system and the system with compromised sensors. Forward and backward distances, respectively, characterize upper bounds of the degree of forward and backward safety loss caused by the sensor attacks. We verify the two simulation distances by expressing them as modalities, i.e., formulas of differential dynamic logic, and develop an ad-hoc proof system to reason with such formulas.

Given that security risks exist in open networks, the impact of deception attacks is considered, whereas, this prevents the gain control technique from being applied directly to control design. To lift the restriction, a novel auxiliary system is firstly constructed to cleverly turn the secure control to the boundedness control of the auxiliary system. Next, a crucial bridge, temporal scaling transformation, is employed to transform the control issue in the finite time into infinite time, which opens up more possibilities for solving studied issues. Then, by the gain control technique, a Zeno-free secure control strategy with dynamically adjustable triggering mechanism is devised, which successfully ensures the convergence of system states within the prescribed time meanwhile counteracting deception attacks. Further, an improved nonlinearity, i.e. containing both low-order and high-order states, is discussed.
