  text: Computing an approximation of the reachable states of a hybrid system is a
    challenge, mainly because overapproximating the solutions of ODEs with a finite
    number of sets does not scale well. Using template polyhedra can greatly reduce
    the computational complexity, since it replaces complex operations on sets with
    a small number of optimization problems. However, the use of templates may make
    the over-approximation too conservative. Spurious transitions, which are falsely
    considered reachable, are particularly detrimental to performance and accuracy,
    and may exacerbate the state explosion problem. In this paper, we examine how
    spurious transitions can be avoided with minimal computational effort. To this
    end, detecting spurious transitions is reduced to the well-known problem of showing
    that two convex sets are disjoint by finding a hyperplane that separates them.
    We generalize this to owpipes by considering hyperplanes that evolve with time
    in correspondence to the dynamics of the system. The approach is implemented in
    the model checker SpaceEx and demonstrated on examples.
