Stability of Reset and Impulsive Continuous-time Linear Switched Systems

We study stability issue of reset and impulsive switched systems. We find time constraints (dwell time and flee time) on switching signals which stabilize a given reset switched system. For a given collection of matrices, we find an assignment of resets and time constraints on switching signals which guarantee stability of the reset switched system. Similar results are obtained for impulsive switched systems as well. Two techniques, namely, analysis of flow of the system and the multiple Lyapunov function approach is used to obtain the results. The results are later generalized to obtain mode-dependent time constraints for stability of these systems.
