We present an approach for the synthesis and verification of neural network controllers for closed loop dynamical systems, modelled as an ordinary differential equation. Feedforward neural networks are ubiquitous when it comes to approximating functions, especially in the machine learning literature. The proposed verification technique tries to construct an over-approximation of the system trajectories using a combination of tools, such as, Sherlock and Flow*. In addition to computing reach sets, we incorporate counter examples or bad traces into the synthesis phase of the controller as well. We go back and forth between verification and counter example generation until the system outputs a fully verified controller, or the training fails to terminate in a neural network which is compliant with the desired specifications. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach over a suite of benchmarks ranging from 2 to 17 …
