Abstract-- This work studies a class of hybrid mechanical systems that locomote by switching between constraints defining different dynamic regimes. We develop a geometric framewor...
Hybrid agent-based simulation is required to provide a mechanism for analyzing large-scale complex systems, such as the National Airspace System (NAS). The dynamic behavior of man...
—We introduce a new BDD-like data structure called Hybrid-Restriction Diagrams (HRDs) for the representation and manipulation of linear hybrid automata (LHA) state-spaces and pre...
We investigate the nonlinear exponential stability of the State-Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE)-based control. The SDRE technique is a nonlinear control method, which has emerged...
Hybrid systems like computer-controlled chemical plants are typical safety critical distributed systems. In present practice, the safety of hybrid systems is guaranteed by hazard ...
