contents We present a data-driven framework for reachability analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems that requires no explicit model. A denoising diffusion probabilistic model learns the time-evolving state distribution of a dynamical system from trajectory data alone. The predicted reachable set takes the form of a sublevel set of a nonconformity score derived from the reconstruction error, with the threshold calibrated via the Learn Then Test procedure so that the probability of excluding a reachable state is bounded with high probability. Experiments on three nonlinear systems, a forced Duffing oscillator, a planar quadrotor, and a high-dimensional reaction-diffusion system, confirm that the empirical miss rate remains below the Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) bound while scaling to state dimensions beyond the reach of classical grid-based and polynomial methods.
