A small-gain approach to stability analysis of hybrid systems

We propose to use ISS small-gain theorems to analyze stability of hybrid systems. We demonstrate that the small-gain analysis framework is very naturally and generally applicable in the context of hybrid systems, and thus has a potential to be useful in many applications. The main idea is illustrated on specific problems in the context of control with limited information, where it is shown to provide novel interpretations, powerful extensions, and a more unified treatment of several previously available results. The reader does not need to be familiar with ISS or small-gain theorems to be able to follow the paper.
