Course description:
|
The
aim of this course is to introduce the student to the area of hybrid systems,
that is dynamical systems characterized by the interaction of different types
of dynamics, both continuous and discrete. The
interest in a systematic study of hybrid systems has been fueled by recent
technological innovations, which led to the pervasive diffusion of
increasingly complex digital system for the control and supervision of
physical systems (embedded systems represent a significant example in this
respect). The
study of hybrid systems is generally more challenging than that of purely
discrete or purely continuous systems, because of the interaction between
dynamics of different nature. In
this course, we shall introduce models for hybrid systems, and describe
general methods for investigating properties such as reachability,
observability and stability. Control of hybrid systems will also be addressed
with connections to networked control and scheduling. Analysis
and design methods will be demonstrated on examples from different
application contexts. Students
attending the course should be able to appreciate the diversity of phenomena
that arise in hybrid systems, and understand how concepts that are classical
in the theory of discrete systems, modelled by automata, can coexist with
concepts that are classical in the theory of continuous systems, modelled by
differential equations, in a unifying framework. |
