We present two results about regular hybrid systems with no branching. The first one provides a condition for asymptotic stability of hybrid closed orbits in terms of contraction-expansion rates of resets and flows in a hybrid system. The second one is a generalization of the Poincaré-Bendixson theorem to planar hybrid systems.
Keywords: Regular hybrid system; hybrifold; hybrid flow; hybrid closed orbit
