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 …

Model Predictive Control (MPC), the dominant advanced control approach in industry over
the past twenty-five years, is presented comprehensively in this unique book. With a simple …

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 …

Lyapunov functions are an essential tool in the stability analysis of dynamical systems, both
in theory and applications. They provide sufficient conditions for the stability of equilibria or …

This book is about dynamical systems that are" hybrid" in the sense that they contain both
continuous and discrete state variables. Recently there has been increased research …

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 …

This paper considers a system consisting of a set of two unstable linear autonomous state
models. Control is achieved by selecting which system to activate. The control objective is to …

There are many practical control problems where the control action is determined by
switching among a given set of control laws. This paper presents necessary and sufficient …

In this volume the important concept of switched and impulsive control is discussed, with a
wide field of applications in the analysis and control of complex systems. This monograph …
