Input-to-state stability of soft-reset systems with nonlinear data (Q6073121)

The paper starts from the model of a hybrid dynamical system as a hard-reset system as follows \[ \displaylines{\displaystyle{x\in C:=\{x\in R^n|\varphi(x)\leq 0\}\ ,\ \dot{x}\in \hat{F}(x,d(t))}\cr \displaystyle{x\in D:=\{x\in R^n|\varphi(x)\geq 0\}\ ,\ x^+=g(x)}} \] with \(x^+(k):=x(k+1)\). At its turn this system is modeled as soft reset system \[ \displaystyle{\dot{x}\in \hat{F}(x,d(t))+\kappa(x)(SGN(\varphi(x))+1)(g(x)-x):=F(x,d(t))}\tag{1} \] where \(\kappa:R^n\mapsto R_+\) and the set- valued mapping \(SGN(s)\) is defined as \[ SGN(s) := \begin{cases}\frac{s}{|s|}\, s\neq 0\\ [-1,1]\ ,\ s=0\end{cases} \] There are introduced various assumptions on the functions defining (1) -- and the basic hard-reset system -- and ISS (input-to-state-stability) in the sense of E. Sontag is obtained in several theorems relying on the aforementioned assumptions and properties deduced from strong Lyapunov functions.
