Where to go to learn more: The literature on hybrid systems is very rich and spans different disciplines. Several textbooks and online resources are available for the interested reader. The following textbook provides a concise introduction to hybrid systems, with multiple examples from engineering: An Introduction to Hybrid Dynamical Systems - A. van der Schaft and H. Schumacher. These online handouts provide basic definitions, examples and tools for verification, stability, and controller synthesis in the hybrid automata framework: J. Lygeros, C. Tomlin, and S. Sastry. Hybrid Systems: Modeling, Analysis and Control. Course material on switched and hybrid systems in different frameworks can be found at: J. Hespanha. Hybrid and Switched Systems. B. De Schutter and W.P.M.H. Heemels. Modeling and Control of Hybrid Systems. E. Abraham. Modeling and Analysis of Hybrid Systems. J. Raisch. Course Notes Discrete Event and Hybrid Systems. W. Zhang. Hybrid Systems: Theory and Applications. This textbook presents a unifying framework for modeling and analysis of hybrid dynamical systems: Hybrid Dynamical Systems - R. Goebel, R.G. Sanfelice, A.R.
