Abstract

In this work characterizations of the notion of non-uniform in time robust global asymptotic output stability for hybrid systems with disturbances are given. Based on the provided characterizations, it is shown that every asymptotically output controllable time-varying control system can be stabilized (in general non-uniformly in time) by means of time-varying hybrid feedback.
