We prove a version of the Poincar\\'e-Bendixson Theorem for two dimensional hybrid dynamical systems and describe a method for computing the derivative of the Poincar\\'e return map, a useful object for the stability analysis of hybrid systems. We also prove a Poincar\\'e-Bendixson Theorem for a class of one dimensional hybrid dynamical systems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-01-27T00:48:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "34A38", "34C25", "34D20", "70K05", "70K20", "70K42" ], "keywords": [ "hybrid systems", "poincaré-bendixson theorem", "dimensional hybrid dynamical systems", "poincare return map", "poincare-bendixson theorem plays" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
