This result shows that the long-term behavior of a hybrid model with a large number of degrees-of-freedom may be governed by a low-dimensional smooth dynamical system. The appearance of such simplified models enables the translation of analytical tools from smooth systems-such as Floquet theory-to the hybrid setting and provides a bridge between the efforts of biologists and engineers studying legged locomotion.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-09-08T17:25:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "periodic orbit", "hybrid systems", "dimension reduction", "low-dimensional smooth dynamical system", "constant-dimensional invariant subsystem" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1109.1780B" } } }
