On hybrid impulsive and switching systems and application to nonlinear control

In this note, a new class of hybrid impulsive and switching models is introduced and their asymptotic stability properties are investigated. Using switched Lyapunov functions, some new general criteria for exponential stability and asymptotic stability with arbitrary and conditioned impulsive switching are established. In addition, a new hybrid impulsive and switching control strategy for nonlinear systems is developed. A typical example, the unified chaotic system, is given to illustrate the theoretical results.
