ABSTRACT

In this chapter we present qualitative analyses of five classes of hybrid (resp., discontinuous) dynamical systems. All five systems constitute special cases of the notion of general hybrid dynamical system developed in Chapter 8. The first three classes of systems considered are treated by the results of Chapter 9 while the remaining two classes of systems are analyzed on an individual basis. In our selection process, we have made an effort of choosing problems that are of importance and will pass the test of time.
