Complex Dynamical Behavior in Hybrid Systems

Abstract

The objective of this research is to further the understanding of complex dynamical behavior in hybrid systems. Hybrid dynamical systems are of interest to the Air Force because of the high degree of autonomy and cooperation that future reconnaissance and fighter aircraft will maintain. Complex control and coordination algorithms for such vehicles, involving multiple mode switching and other high-level supervisory control architectures, give rise to complicated hybrid dynamical systems with behaviors that can be difficult to predict and understand. The proposed research aims to provide systematic tools for predicting and shaping the behavior of complex hybrid dynamical systems.
