Well-posedness and Equivalence

In this subtheme of "Hybrid and Switched Systems" we ask ourselves the following questions:

  • Well-posedness: When are hybrid systems well-posed in the sense that they produce (global / infinite / complete) solution trajectories for initial states and inputs of interest and when are these solutions unique?
  • Equivalence: When can we translate certain hybrid model classes into "equivalent" others, where equivalence refers to producing the same dynamical behaviour?
