Input-to-state stability for a class of hybrid dynamical systems via averaging

Abstract

Input-to-state stability (ISS) properties for a class of time-varying hybrid dynamical systems via averaging method are considered. Two definitions of averages, strong average and weak average, are used to approximate the time-varying hybrid systems with time-invariant hybrid systems. Closeness of solutions between the time-varying system and solutions of its weak or strong average on compact time domains is given under the assumption of forward completeness for the average system. We also show that ISS of the strong average implies semi-global practical (SGP)-ISS of the actual system. In a similar fashion, ISS of the weak average implies semi-global practical derivative ISS (SGP-DISS) of th..
