On the global controllability of hybrid systems: hybrifolds and fountains

In this paper we investigate the question of the global controllability posed for a class of control hybrid systems. New sufficient conditions for the global controllability are obtained in terms of the so-called hybrid fountains. The main tool for our analysis is the notion of a controlled hybrifold.
