Potential benefits of hybrid control for linear time invariant plants

A question which has bothered control researchers for some time is whether hybrid control offers any advantage over linear control for linear plants. We show in this paper, via several examples, that hybrid control can indeed overcome certain types of limitation which are unavoidable if linear feedback control is used.
