Control design for integrator hybrid systems
The authors define controllability for hybrid systems as the existence of correct control laws that transfer the hybrid plant between predefined subsets of the hybrid state space. A methodology for analyzing controllability and synthesizing control laws for a class of hybrid systems, applicable especially in batch control, is proposed. They use a framework consisting of a hybrid plant and a hybrid controller that interact in a feedback fashion.
