Abstract
This work develops hybrid models for large-scale singular differential system and analyzes their asymptotic properties. To take into consideration the discrete shifts in regime across which the behavior of the corresponding dynamic systems is markedly different, our goals are to develop hybrid systems in which continuous dynamics are intertwined with discrete events under random-jump disturbances and to reduce complexity of large-scale singular systems via singularly perturbed Markov chains. To reduce the complexity of large-scale hybrid singular systems, two-time scale is used in the formulation. Under general assumptions, limit behavior of the underlying system is examined. Using weak convergence methods, it is shown that the systems can be approximated by limit systems in which the coefficients are averaged out with respect to the quasi-stationary distributions. Since the limit systems have fewer states, the complexity is much reduced.
