Dissipativity of finite and hybrid automata: An overview
Etika Agarwal, Michael J. McCourt, Panos J. Antsaklis · 2017
This paper presents an overview of dissipativity concepts for discrete event and hybrid systems modeled as finite and hybrid automata respectively. Discrete event systems are event driven and lack a continuous time driven state evolution making the control analysis challenging. On the other hand, hybrid systems are a combination of discrete dynamics, similar to that of discrete event systems, and continuous dynamics associated with every discrete state. This interaction of heterogeneous dynamics gives rise to complex system behavior. The energy-like concept of dissipativity appears to provide an attractive analysis and design tool for these systems.
