Abstract

We investigate an everywhere defined notion of solution for control systems whose dynamics depend nonlinearly on the control uu and state x,x, and are affine in the time derivative u˙.\dot u. For this reason, the input u,u, which is allowed to be Lebesgue integrable, is called impulsive, while a second, bounded measurable control vv is denominated ordinary. The proposed notion of solution is derived from a topological (non-metric) characterization of a former concept of solution which was given in the case when the drift is vv-independent. Existence, uniqueness and representation of the solution are studied, and a close analysis of effects of (possibly infinitely many) discontinuities on a null set is performed as well.
