Control Lyapunov for Hybrid System
A relatively interesting paper presented in IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, it presents an argument for extending Control Lyapunov Functinos, a standard result for smooth equations, to discrete-time hybrid systems. As gaining insight from the 'raw' dynamics of a hybrid system can be challenging at best, adding a tool to reduce the complexity of analysis, much like Lyapunov theory for ordinary systems, is appealing.
