While existing literature studied only what we designate by uniform robust safety, in this paper, we make a clear distinction between the uniform and the non-uniform robust-safety notions. For both cases, we establish sufficient (infinitesimal) conditions on the nominal (unperturbed) system. That is, our conditions involve only the barrier function and the system's right-hand side. Our results allow for unbounded safety regions as well as nonsmooth barrier functions. Throughout the paper, simple examples are provided to illustrate our results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-08-23T09:21:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "differential inclusions", "sufficient conditions", "nonsmooth barrier functions", "non-uniform robust-safety notions", "systems right-hand side" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
