The class of hybrid systems dealt with consists of, in general, coupled continuous-time and digital systems subject to state perturbations whose nominal (i.e., unperturbed) parts are linear and time-varying, in general. The obtained sufficient conditions on robust stability are dependent on the values of the parameters defining the over-bounding functions of the uncertainties and the weakness of the coupling between the analog and digital sub-states provided that the corresponding uncoupled nominal subsystems are both exponentially stable.</p></abstract><kwd-group><label>Keywords</label><kwd>dynamic hybrid systems</kwd><kwd>stability</kwd><kwd>total stability</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front></article>
