On the stability and control of piecewise-smooth dynamical systems with impacts and friction

This thesis concerns the analysis of dynamical systems suitable to be modelled by piecewise-smooth differential equations. In such systems the continuous-in-time dynamics is interrupted by discrete-in-time jumps in the state or governing equations of motion. Not only can this framework be used to de...
