Singularly Perturbed Stochastic Hybrid Systems: Stability and Recurrence via Composite Nonsmooth Foster Functions

Abstract

We introduce new sufficient conditions for verifying stability and recurrence properties in singularly perturbed stochastic hybrid dynamical systems. Specifically, we focus on hybrid systems with deterministic continuous-time dynamics that exhibit multiple time scales and are modeled by constrained differential inclusions, as well as discrete-time dynamics modeled by constrained difference inclusions with random inputs. By assuming regularity and causality of the dynamics and their solutions, respectively, we propose a suitable class of composite nonsmooth Lagrange-Foster and Lyapunov-Foster functions that can certify stability and recurrence using simpler functions related to the slow and fast dynamics of the system. We establish the stability properties with respect to compact sets, while the recurrence properties are studied only for open sets
