Digital Control of Hybrid Systems via Simulation and Bisimulation

Abstract:

A hybrid system is a dynamical model that describes the coupled evolution of both continuous‐ valued variables and discrete patterns. A prime example of such a system is a power electronic circuit, where the semiconductor transistors behave as ideal switches whose switching actions effectively change the circuit topology (i.e., the discrete pattern) that in turn defines the dynamics of currents and voltages (i.e., the continuous variables) and hence the switching actions.
