    Hi! (:

    Conventional controllers use a control signal that changes the state of
    a dynamical system continuously. So, the state of the system changes
    differentially through time. In contrast, Impulsive control is a
    controlling methodology that uses "impulses" to control the state of
    the system (as the Impulse, I mean Dirac Delta function which has an
    infinite amplitude in a single point with a finite energy). After using
    an impulse signal, the state of the system changes abruptly. The theory
    is based on "Impulsive Differential Equations" and I have seen it in
    Chaos Control.
    And what is the relation with a program? An instruction in an
    algorithm, changes the state of variables abruptly. By writing a simple
    "GoTo" (when was the last time you have used it?), you jump through
    some kind of "program state space". It may be possible to analyze a
    program using this impulsive differential equation and ... . I am not
    sure whether there is any benefit seeing the theory of computation as a
    dynamical system. However, there is a small chance of being
    advantageous.

    Have a nice holiday,
