Generic asymptotic error estimates for the numerical simulation of hybrid systems (Q924097)

The author studies the numerical solution of the initial value problem for impulsive or hysteretic hybrid systems using the concept of differential automaton introduced by the author [Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 11, 665--683 (1987; Zbl 0666.34005)]. Asymptotic error estimates are shown for approximate trajectories that are computed based on a specific stepsize selection and simulator reinitialization. The convergence of the method is shown with respect to a metric for cadlag functions which induces the Skorohod \(J_1\) topology. Finally, some numerical examples are given.
