We propose an informal test for stationarity in a time series which checks for the compatibility of nonlinear approximations to the dynamics made in different segments of the sequence. The segments are compared directly, rather than via…

Consider a smooth one-parameter family t -> f_t of dynamical systems f_t, with |t|<epsilon. Assume that for all t (or for many t close to t=0) the map f_t admits a unique SRB invariant probability measure m_t. We say that linear response}…
Nonlinearity in many systems is heavily dependent on component variation and environmental factors such as temperature. This is often overcome by keeping signals close enough to the device's operating point that it appears approximately…

Consider the planar linear switched system $\dot x(t)=u(t)Ax(t)+(1-u(t))Bx(t),$ where $A$ and $B$ are two $2\times2$ real matrices, $x \in \R^2$, and $u(.):[0,\infty[\to\{0,1\}$ is a measurable function. In this paper we consider the…
This paper deals with classes of (de)stabilizing switching signals for switched systems. Most of the available conditions for stability of switched systems are sufficient in nature, and consequently, their violation does not conclude…
