Brief paper: geometric approach for observability and accessibility of discrete-time non-linear switched impulsive systems

This study is concerned with observability and accessibility of discrete-time non-linear switched impulsive systems, for which the problem is more complicated than that for general discrete systems and has novel features. A new method from the combination of differential geometric theory and Lie group analysis is developed. Specifically, under the geometric framework of the system, infinitesimal invariance for the observability and accessibility is investigated, respectively. Based on the invariance investigation, explicit criteria for local observability and local accessibility are derived. Numerical examples are discussed to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods, and the features of observability and accessibility for discrete switched impulsive systems.
