Abstract
We revisited decidability of the reachability problem for low dimensional hybrid systems. Even though many attempts have been done to draw the boundary between decidable and undecidable hybrid systems there are still many open problems in between. In this paper we show that the reachability question for some two dimensional hybrid systems are undecidable and that for other 2-dim systems this question remains unanswered, showing that it is as hard as the reachability problem for Piecewise Affine Maps, that is a well known open problem.
