We show that hybrid zonotopes offer an equivalent representation of feed-forward fully connected neural networks with ReLU activation functions. Our approach demonstrates that the complexity of binary variables is equal to the total number of neurons in the network and hence grows linearly in the size of the network. We demonstrate the utility of the hybrid zonotope formulation through three case studies including nonlinear function approximation, MPC closed-loop reachability and verification, and robustness of classification on the MNIST dataset.
