Title:Optimality of Zeno Executions in Hybrid Systems
View PDFAbstract:A unique feature of hybrid dynamical systems (systems whose evolution is subject to both continuous- and discrete-time laws) is Zeno trajectories. Usually these trajectories are avoided as they can cause incorrect numerical results as the problem becomes ill-conditioned. However, these are difficult to justifiably avoid as determining when and where they occur is a non-trivial task. It turns out that in optimal control problems, not only can they not be avoided, but are sometimes required in synthesizing the solutions. This work explores the pedagogical example of the bouncing ball to demonstrate the importance of "Zeno control executions."
