On the Maximum Principle for Impulsive Hybrid Systems

In this contribution, we consider a class of hybrid systems with continuous dynamics and jumps in the continuous state (impulsive hybrid systems). By using a newly elaborated version of the Pontryagin-type Maximum Principle (MP) for optimal control processes governed by hybrid dynamics with autonomous location transitions, we extend the necessary optimality conditions to a class of Impulsive Hybrid Optimal Control Problems (IHOCPs). For these problems, we obtain a concise characterization of the Impulsive Hybrid MP (IHMP), namely, the corresponding boundary-value problem and some additional relations. As in the classical case, the proposed IHMP provides a basis for diverse computational algorithms for the treatment of IHOCPs.
