Invariance principles for switching systems via hybrid systems techniques

Invariance principles and sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability for switching systems are given. Multiple Lyapunov-like functions are used, and dwell-time, persistent dwell-time, and weak dwell-time switching signals are considered. The invariance principles are derived from general invariance principles for hybrid systems. Asymptotic stability is concluded under observability assumptions or common bounds on the Lyapunov-like functions.
