Djemai M., Defoort M. Hybrid Dynamical Systems: Observation and Control

Springer Cham Heidelberg New York Dordrecht London, 2015. XVII, 332 p. 74 illus., 30 illus. in color. — (Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences Volume 457).Solves problems in the analysis and control of hybrid dynamical systems
Brings together work from the various fields feeding into this interdisciplinary area
Advances theoretical and applied studies in a field of mathematical interest and industrial significanceThis book is a collection of contributions defining the state of current knowledge and new trends in hybrid systems – systems involving both continuous dynamics and discrete events – as described by the work of several well-known groups of researchers.
Hybrid Dynamical Systems presents theoretical advances in such areas as diagnosability, observability and stabilization for various classes of system. Continuous and discrete state estimation and self-triggering control of nonlinear systems are advanced. The text employs various methods, among them, high-order sliding modes, Takagi–Sugeno representation and sampled-data switching to achieve its ends.
The many applications of hybrid systems from power converters to computer science are not forgotten; studies of flexible-joint robotic arms and – as representative biological systems – the behaviour of the human heart and vasculature, demonstrate the wide-ranging practical significance of control in hybrid systems. The cross-disciplinary origins of study in hybrid systems are evident.
Academic researchers and graduate students interested in hybrid and switched systems need look no further than Hybrid Dynamical Systems for a single source which will bring them up to date with work in this area from around the world.
