The recent interest in hybrid systems has given rise to a large variety of model classes and to many different notions of solution trajectories. In this paper we enumerate several solution concepts and compare them on the basis of some examples displaying Zeno behaviour. The relation to well-posedness is also discussed.
Keywords: Hybrid systems, solution concepts, well-posedness, Zeno behaviour
