By a switched system, we mean a hybrid dynamical system consisting of a family of
continuous-time subsystems and a rule that orchestrates the switching between them. The …

This paper introduces the concept of a hybrid system and some of the challenges associated
with the stability of such systems, including the issues of guaranteeing stability of switched …

l\lany systems encountered in practice involve a coupling between contin uous dynamics
and discrete events. Systems in which these two kinds of dynamics coexist and interact are …

During the past several years, there have been increasing research activities in the field of
stability analysis and switching stabilization for switched systems. This paper aims to briefly …

The main purpose of this chapter is to give a derivation, which is mathematically precise,
physically natural, and conceptually simple, of the quasilinear system of partial differential …

Switched linear systems have a long history in the control literature but-along with hybrid
systems more generally-they have enjoyed a particular growth in interest since the 1990s …

The study of the stability properties of switched and hybrid systems gives rise to a number of
interesting and challenging mathematical problems. The objective of this paper is to outline …

In this paper, we investigate the output tracking control problem of constrained nonlinear
switched systems in lower triangular form. First, when all the states are subjected to …

This monograph is based on the Ph. D. Thesis of the author [58]. Its goal is twofold: First, it
presents most researchwork that has been done during his Ph. D., or at least the part of the …

This paper deals with the problem of switching between several linear time-invariant (LTI)
controllers—all of them capable of stabilizing a specific LTI process—in such a way that the …
