    Input-to-state stability for a class of hybrid dynamical systems via averaging
    Wang, W ; Nesic, D ; Teel, AR (Springer, 2012-02)
    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 the actual system. Through a power converter example, we show that the main results can be used in a framework for a systematic design of hybrid feedbacks for pulse-width modulated control systems.

    Analysis for a class of singularly perturbed hybrid systems via averaging
    Wang, W ; Teel, AR ; Nesic, D (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2012-06-01)
    A class of singularly perturbed hybrid dynamical systems is analyzed. The fast states are restricted to a compact set a priori. The continuous-time boundary layer dynamics produce solutions that are assumed to generate a well-defined average vector field for the slow dynamics. This average, the projection of the jump map in the direction of the slow states, and flow and jump sets from the original dynamics define the reduced, or average, hybrid dynamical system. Assumptions about the average system lead to conclusions about the original, higher-dimensional system. For example, forward pre-completeness for the average system leads to a result on closeness of solutions between the original and average system on compact time domains. In addition, global asymptotic stability for the average system implies semiglobal, practical asymptotic stability for the original system. We give examples to illustrate the averaging concept and to relate it to classical singular perturbation results as well as to other singular perturbation results that have appeared recently for hybrid systems. We also use an example to show that our results can be used as an analysis tool to design hybrid feedbacks for continuous-time plants implemented by fast but continuous actuators.

    Path Following for Nonlinear Systems With Unstable Zero Dynamics: An Averaging Solution
    Dacic, DB ; Nesic, D ; Teel, AR ; Wang, W (IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2011-04-01)
    We consider a path-following problem in which the goal is to ensure that the error between the system output and the geometric path is asymptotically less than a prespecified constant, while guaranteeing a forward motion along the path and boundedness of all states. Comparing with the results on this problem, we exploit averaging techniques to develop an alternative simpler solution for a class of nonlinear systems and for paths satisfying a certain geometric condition.
