A categorical framework for modeling and analyzing systems in a broad sense is proposed. These systems should be thought of as `machines' with inputs and outputs, carrying some sort of signal that occurs through some notion of time. Special…

We deal with a set of solutions of the continuous multi-valued dynamical systems on $\mathbb{R}^2$ of the form $\dot x \in F(x)$ where $F(x)$ is a set-valued function and $F=\{f_1,f_2\}$. Such dynamical systems are frequently used in…
