Hybrid  dynamical systems (or simply hybrid systems) combine the typical  behaviors of continuous-time dynamical systems with that of  discrete-time dynamical systems, of which the continuous parts are often  described by differential equations and the discrete parts are  described by difference equations. Such models describe the interaction  of continuous- and discrete-time dynamics, which provide a framework for  mathematical modelling of many complex physical phenomena and practical  applications. Examples of hybrid systems widely exist in manufacturing  systems, computer operating systems, biological systems and so on. Since  1986, when the concept of hybrid systems was first proposed, research  on hybrid systems has undergone a booming development in both theory and  practice, which has attracted substantial attention from scholars and  achieved fruitful results.
