Summary

This thesis addresses the optimal control of state‐dependent switched systems—a class of hybrid dynamical systems characterized by state‐triggered transitions across known interfaces. Such systems arise in applications ranging from robotics and chemical process control to electronic circuits, yet the classical Pontryagin Maximum Principle applies only to continuously differentiable dynamics. Moreover, existing numerical toolboxes often lack both ease of use and rigorous error guarantees. To overcome these challenges, this thesis develops new theoretical foundations and efficient computational algorithms.
