Abstract

In this paper, we study one-clock priced timed automata in which prices can grow linearly (dp/dt=k) or exponentially (dp/dt=kp), with discontinuous updates on edges. We propose EXPTIME algorithms to decide the existence of controllers that ensure existence of infinite runs or reachability of some goal location with non-negative observer value all along the run. These algorithms consist in computing the optimal delays that should be elapsed in each location along a run, so that the final observer value is maximized (and never goes below zero).
