Switched linear dynamics arise e.g. in power electronics, distributed power systems, multi-controller schemes, etc.; classically they are modeled by state space equations of the same order. However, such representations may be unnecessarily restrictive or complex: first-principles models are often of higher order, and often the modes often do not really share a common global state space. Consider e.g. distributed power systems, where the loads connected to the source have dynamics of different complexity: the state space changes depending on which loads are actually connected. Modelling such systems using a global state variable results in a more complex model than necessary, reduces modularity, and thus is done mainly to satisfy a priori-defined structural properties. I am developing a new framework where the dynamical modes are described by systems of higher-order linear constant coefficient differential equations. The system trajectories satisfy these equations on time-intervals determined by a switching signal. "Gluing conditions", i.e. algebraic equations involving the system trajectories and their derivatives before and after the switching instant, specify whether the piecewise restrictions can be concatenated to form an admissible trajectory. This framework is based on polynomial algebra and is thus conducive to the use of computer algebra techniques for modelling, analysis, and control. It is efficient in the number of variables and equations used to model a system, completely modular, and integrates perfectly with hierarchical modelling. The final aim of my research is contributing to the creation of a modelling, simulation and design environment based on a sound mathematical methodology aligned with efficient simulation techniques.In this framework I obtained encouraging results on Lyapunov stability, but much work remains to be done. I propose here to investigate 3 areas: - detection of impulsive phenomena:Gluing conditions may implicitly specify that certain trajectories cannot be concatenated smoothly at switching. This may imply instantaneous surges in the values of the system variables, which may lead to component breakdown. I aim at developing algebraic tests to ascertain when such situations may occur. These tests could be used to detect automatically the presence of impulsive behavior from the equations describing the systems, and thus would be useful for implementing my framework in a computer-aided design environment. - dissipative switched systems:I want to extend my framework to open systems and to modelling the interaction between dynamics and environment associated with energy exchange. This is a first step towards the investigation in this new framework of control techniques based on dissipation ideas for switched systems. - polynomial methods for differential variational inequalities. In many situations (e.g. in circuits, chemical processes, genetics, hydraulics, etc.) switching depends on the satisfaction of sets of algebraic inequalities, rather than on an external switching signal. Such a point of view can also efficiently overcome the combinatorial complexity associated with modelling transitions via switches. I want to investigate how to represent inequality-based transition rules in a polynomial setting; the well-posedness of solutions in a polynomial setting; the algebraic characterization of stability and the computation of Lyapunov functionals. This is a completely new area of application of polynomial algebraic techniques to the description of dynamical systems. The three areas described above constitute challenging test fields for the soundness of my approach, and offer the opportunity for developing it further in directions important for applications.

切换线性动态出现在例如电力电子、分布式电力系统、多控制器方案等中;经典地，它们由相同阶的状态空间方程建模。然而，这样的表示可能是不必要的限制或复杂的：第一原理模型通常是高阶的，并且通常模式通常不真正共享公共的全局状态空间。考虑例如分布式电力系统，其中连接到源的负载具有不同复杂性的动态：状态空间根据实际连接的负载而变化。使用全局状态变量对这样的系统进行建模会导致比必要的模型更复杂的模型，降低了模块性，因此主要是为了满足优先级定义的结构特性。我正在开发一个新的框架，其中的动态模式描述的高阶线性常系数微分方程系统。系统轨迹在由开关信号确定的时间间隔上满足这些方程。“胶合条件”，即涉及系统轨迹及其在切换时刻之前和之后的导数的代数方程，指定分段限制是否可以连接以形成容许轨迹。该框架基于多项式代数，因此有利于使用计算机代数技术进行建模、分析和控制。它在用于建模系统的变量和方程数量方面非常有效，完全模块化，并与分层建模完美集成。我的研究的最终目的是有助于创建一个建模，仿真和设计环境的基础上，一个健全的数学方法与有效的仿真techniques.In这个框架中，我得到了令人鼓舞的结果李雅普诺夫稳定性，但还有很多工作要做。我建议在这里调查3个领域：-检测脉冲现象：胶合条件可能会隐含地指定某些轨迹不能连接在切换顺利。这可能意味着系统变量值的瞬时激增，这可能导致组件故障。我的目标是开发代数测试，以确定何时可能发生这种情况。这些测试可以用来自动检测脉冲行为的存在，从方程描述的系统，因此将是有用的，在计算机辅助设计环境中实现我的框架。- 耗散切换系统：我想将我的框架扩展到开放系统，并对与能量交换相关的动态和环境之间的相互作用进行建模。这是第一步，在这个新的框架的控制技术的基础上切换系统的耗散思想的调查。- 微分变分不等式的多项式方法在许多情况下（例如，在电路，化学过程，遗传学，水力学等）切换取决于代数不等式组的满足，而不是取决于外部切换信号。这样的观点也可以有效地克服与经由开关对转换进行建模相关联的组合复杂性。我想研究如何在多项式环境中表示基于不等式的过渡规则;多项式环境中解的适定性;稳定性的代数表征和李雅普诺夫泛函的计算。这是一个全新的领域应用多项式代数技术的描述动力系统。上述三个领域构成了对我的方法的合理性具有挑战性的测试领域，并为在对应用重要的方向上进一步发展它提供了机会。
