Abstract

This thesis introduces the notion of using stability analysis in terms of two measures for impulsive switched systems. Impulsive switched systems are defined in the context of hybrid system theory and the motivation for the study of these systems is presented. The motivation for studying stability in two measures is also given, along with the definitions of stability, uniform stability, and uniform asymptotic stability in one and two measures. The results presented are a sets of sufficient stability criteria for linear and nonlinear systems. For autonomous linear systems, there are criteria for stability and asymptotic stability using a particular family of choices for the two measures. There is an additional stronger set of criteria for asymptotic stability using one measure, for comparison. There is also a proposed method for finding the asymptotic stability of a non-autonomous system in one measure. The method for extending these criteria to linearized systems is also presented, along with stability criteria for such systems. The criteria for nonlinear systems cover stability, uniform stability, and uniform asymptotic stability, considering state-based and time-based switching rules in different ways. The sufficient stability criteria that were found were used to solve four instructive examples. These examples show how the criteria are applied, how they compare, and what the shortcomings are in certain situations. It was found that the method of using two measures produced stricter stability requirements than a similar method for one measure. It was still found to be a useful result that could be applied to the stability analysis of an actual impulsive switched system.
