We consider reachability in dynamical systems with discrete linear updates, but with fixed digital precision, i.e., such that values of the system are rounded at each step. Given a matrix M ∈ ℚ^{d × d}, an initial vector x ∈ ℚ^{d}, a granularity g ∈ ℚ_+ and a rounding operation [⋅] projecting a vector of ℚ^{d} onto another vector whose every entry is a multiple of g, we are interested in the behaviour of the orbit 𝒪 = ⟨[x], [M[x]],[M[M[x]]],… ⟩, i.e., the trajectory of a linear dynamical system in which the state is rounded after each step. For arbitrary rounding functions with bounded effect, we show that the complexity of deciding point-to-point reachability - whether a given target y ∈ ℚ^{d} belongs to 𝒪 - is PSPACE-complete for hyperbolic systems (when no eigenvalue of M has modulus one). We also establish decidability without any restrictions on eigenvalues for several natural classes of rounding functions.
