Some of the equivalences are established under (rather mild) additional assumptions. These results are of paramount importance for transferring theoretical properties and tools from one class to another, with the consequence that for the study of a particular hybrid system that belongs to any of these classes, one can choose the most convenient hybrid modeling framework. date: 2001-07 date_type: published publication: Automatica volume: 37 number: 7 publisher: Elsevier pagerange: 1085-1091 id_number: 10.1016/S0005-1098(01)00059-0 refereed: TRUE issn: 0005-1098 official_url: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0005109801000590 citation: Heemels, W.P.M.H. and De Schutter, Bart and Bemporad, Alberto Equivalence of hybrid dynamical models.
