Abstract

This paper is concerned with the stability of the set of trajectoriesof a patchy vector field, in the presence of impulsiveperturbations. Patchy vector fields arediscontinuous, piecewise smooth vector fieldsthat were introduced in Ancona and Bressan (1999) to study feedback stabilization problems.For patchy vector fields in the plane, with polygonalpatches in generic position, we show that the distance between a perturbed trajectory and an unperturbed one is of the same order of magnitude as the impulsive forcing term.
