* Syntax [#r2da58d9]
- The abstract syntax of HydLa is given in the following BNF.
#ref(./HydLa_BNF.png, center);
- A HydLa program consists of definitions  of constraints and declarations of constraint hierarchies.
//#ref(./HydLa_BNF.png, center);
#ref(./HydLa-syntax.png,center,80%);
- The concrete syntax uses the symbols in the following table.
#ref(./HydLa-symbols.png,center,50%);
- A HydLa program consists of '''definitions of constraints''' and '''declarations of constraint hierarchies'''.
** Definition [#s649ac18]
- In a definition, we define a named constraint or a named constraint hierarchies with arguments using the operator "$\texttt{<=>}$".
If the definition has no arguments, we can omit parentheses.
 INIT <=> y = 0 & y' = 0. // definition of a constraint for the initial state of a ball.
 FALL <=> [](y'' = -10).   // definition of a constraint for falling of the ball.
 BOUNCE(x) <=> [](x- = 0 => x' = -x'-).  // definition of  a constraint for bouncing of the ball.
 BALL{FALL << BOUNCE}. // definition of a constraint hierarchy for the ball.
- $\textit{Constraints}$ allow conjunctions of constraints and implications.
- The antecedents of implications are called $\textit{guards}$.
- "$\texttt{[]}$" denotes a temporal operator which means that the constraint always holds from the time point at which the constraint is enabled.
- Each variable is denoted by a string starting with lower case ($\textit{vname}$).
- The notation $\textit{vname}′$ means the derivative of $\textit{vname}$, and $\textit{vname}\verb|−|$ means the left-hand limit of $\textit{vname}$.

** Declaration of Constraint Hierarchies [#oc2bb594]
- In a declaration, we declare constraints with priorities between them.
- The operator "$\texttt{<<}$" is a concrete notation of the operator "$\ll$" and it describes a weak composition of constraints. For example,
$A \mathrel{\texttt{<<}} B$ means that the constraint A is weaker than B. 
-If we declare a constraint without "$\texttt{<<}$", it means that there is no priority about the constraint.
- In a declaration, constraints can be given relative priorities between them.
- The declaration $A \mathrel{\texttt{<<}} B$ states that the constraint A is weaker than B. 
-If we compose constraints with "$\texttt{,}$" instead of "$\texttt{<<}$", there is no relative priority between them.
- The operator "$\texttt{<<}$" has a higher precedence than "$,$", that is, $A, B \mathrel{\texttt{<<}} C$  is equivalent to $A, (B \mathrel{\texttt{<<}} C)$.
- The unit of constraints
that is declared with a priority is called a module or a constraint module. 
- Meaning of a HydLa program is a set of trajectories that satisfy maximal consistent sets of candidate constraint modules sets at each time point. 
- The meaning of a HydLa program is a set of trajectories that satisfy maximal consistent sets of candidate constraint modules sets at each time point. 
- Each candidate constraint set must satisfy conditions below:~

\[\forall M_1, M_2((M_1 \ll M_2 \land M_1 \in {MS} \,) \Rightarrow M_2 \in {MS}\,)\]
\[\forall M  (\neg \exists ( R \ll M )  \Rightarrow R \in {MS} \,)\]

** List Comprehension [#eea12551]
- In modeling of hybrid systems, we often come across necessity to introduce
multiple similar objects.
- HydLa allows a list comprehention to easily describe models with multiple objects.
- A list can be defined by the operator "$\texttt{:=}$", like $\texttt{X := {x0..x9}.}$
- There are a two types of lists: priority lists and expression lists.
*** Priority List [#rb9d66d1]
- The first type of lists is priority lists.
-- A priority list can be denoted by an extensional notation of the form
\[\{\textit{MP}_1, \textit{MP}_2, ..., \textit{MP}_n\}.\]

-- It also can be denoted intensionally as
\[\{\textit{MP} \mid \textit{LC}_1, \textit{LC}_2, ..., \textit{LC}_n\}.\]

-- For example, $\{\texttt{INIT(i)}\ |\ \texttt{i in \{1,2,3,4\}}\}$ is equivalent to $\{\texttt{INIT(1)}$, $\texttt{INIT(2)}$, $\texttt{INIT(3)}$, $\texttt{INIT(4)}\}$.
-- If a HydLa program includes declarations of priority lists, the elements of the lists are expanded, that is, a declaration of $\{A, B, C\}$
is equivalent to $A, B, C$.
*** Expression List [#c1744645]
- The second of list is expression lists, that is, lists of arithmetic expressions.
--  We can denote an expression list in an extensional or intensional notation
as well as a priority list.
-- In addition, we can use range expressions in the form $\{\textit{RE} \texttt{..} \textit{RE}\,\}$, where $\textit{RE}$ is an arithmetic expression without variables or an arithmetic expression with a variable whose name terminates with a number such as $\texttt{x0}$ and $\texttt{y1}$.
*** Example of Lists [#b3820221]
- An expression list $\verb|{1*2 + 1..5}|$ is equivalent to $\verb|{3,4,5}|$.
- An expression list $\verb/{j | i in {1,2}, j in {i+1..4}}/$ is equivalent to $\verb|{2,3,4,3,4}|$. 
- An expression list $\verb|{x1..x3}|$ is equivalent to $\verb|{x1,x2,x3}|$.

*** Other Notations [#mc029821]
- The $n$-th $(n > 0)$ element of a list $L$ can be accessed by $L\texttt{[}n\texttt{]}$.
-- The index allows an arbitrary expression that results in an integer.
- The size of a list $L$ is denoted by $\texttt{|}L\texttt{|}$, which can be used as a constant value in a HydLa program.
- $\texttt{sum(}L\texttt{)}$ is a syntactic sugar of the sum of the elements in an expression list $L$

** Tips [#jb66d45b]
- Napier's constant "$\texttt{E}$" and the ratio of circumference to diameter "$\texttt{Pi}$" can be used as constant values.
- The following mathematical functions are available.  Note that $\texttt{Sqrt(}x\texttt{)}$ and $\texttt{Exp(}x\texttt{)}$ are missing because they can be expressed as $x\verb|^(1/2)|$ and $\verb|E^|x$, respectively.
