Analysis of a Hybrid System Using Symbolic Dynamics and Petri Nets
Hybrid systems, intrinsic to intelligent control, consist of interacting decision-makers/supervisors and continuous/discrete system dynamics. The decision-maker monitors the continuous/discrete-time system and supervises/controls its behaviour, for example by switching among possible system structures. This paper illustrates the control and modeling of the macroscopic behavior of a three-switched system (three possible system structures) via the supervisory control of a set of symbolic dynamics of the underlying system. By partitioning the underlying system state space into regions compatible with a topologically conjugate set of symbolic dynamics, a Petri Net model of the symbolic dynamics is developed for analysis of the reachability properties of the system; finally, a Petri Net-based supervisor is developed for moving the system from one region of the state space to another, illustrating the power of Petri Net-based symbolic dynamic analysis of hybrid systems.
