contents Safety is a critical property for control systems in medicine, transportation, manufacturing, and other applications, and can be defined as ensuring positive invariance of a predefined safe set. This paper investigates the problems of verifying positive invariance of a semi-algebraic set as well as synthesizing sets that can be made positive invariant through Control Barrier Function (CBF)-based control. The key to our approach consists of mapping conditions for positive invariance to sum-of-squares constraints via the Positivstellensatz from real algebraic geometry. Based on these conditions, we propose a framework for verifying safety of CBF-based control including single CBFs, high-order CBFs, multi-CBFs, and systems with trigonometric dynamics and actuation constraints. In the area of synthesis, we propose algorithms for constructing CBFs, namely, an alternating-descent approach and a local CBF approach. We evaluate our approach through case studies on quadrotor UAV and power converter test systems.
