*Comments

  • Chapman & Smith 2021 [PDF], Chapman & Lessard 2021 [PDF]: The published articles omit almost-everywhere notions in statements about conditional expectations. Revised articles (see previous links) make such notions explicit.

  • A preliminary version of risk-averse safety analysis is described in Chapter 3 of Chapman, Risk-sensitive safety analysis and control for trustworthy autonomy, Ph.D. thesis, UC Berkeley, 2020. The theory of risk-averse safety analysis has been significantly revised and improved in subsequent works, e.g., see Chapman, Bonalli, et al. 2022 [PDF] and Chapman, Fauss, & Smith 2022 [PDF].
