We construct a marginally stable linear switching system in continuous time, in four dimensions and with three switching states, which is exponentially stable with respect to constant switching laws and which has a unique Barabanov norm,…
We show that the stability problem and the problem of constructing Barabanov norms can be resolved for planar linear switching systems in an explicit form. This can be done for every compact control set of $2 \times 2$ matrices. If the…
Every irreducible discrete-time linear switching system possesses an invariant convex Lyapunov function (Barabanov norm), which provides a very refined analysis of trajectories. Until recently that notion remained rather theoretical apart…
In this paper we consider the problem of determining the stability properties, and in particular assessing the exponential stability, of a singularly perturbed linear switching system. One of the challenges of this problem arises from the…
Motivated by an open problem posed by J.P. Hespanha, we extend the notion of Barabanov norm and extremal trajectory to classes of switching signals that are not closed under concatenation. We use these tools to prove that the finiteness of…
The paper is concerned with asymptotic stability properties of linear switched systems. Under the hypothesis that all the subsystems share a non strict quadratic Lyapunov function, we provide a large class of switching signals for which a…
We analyse the so-called Marginal Instability of linear switching systems, both in continuous and discrete time. This is a phenomenon of unboundedness of trajectories when the Lyapunov exponent is zero. We disprove two recent conjectures of…
We address the stability problem for linear switching systems with mode-dependent restrictions on the switching intervals. Their lengths can be bounded as from below (the guaranteed dwell-time) as from above. The upper bounds make this…
We consider linear dynamical systems with a structure of a multigraph. The vertices are associated to linear spaces and the edges correspond to linear maps between those spaces. We analyse the asymptotic growth of trajectories (associated…
We prove a version of the Poincar\'e-Bendixson theorem for certain classes of curves on the 2-sphere which are not required to be the trajectories of an underlying flow or semiflow on the sphere itself. Using this result we extend the…
We investigate the uniform stability properties of discrete-time linear switched systems subject to arbitrary switching, focusing on the "marginally unstable" regime in which the system is not Lyapunov stable but in which trajectories…
We study the asymptotic stability properties of nonlinear switched systems under the assumption of the existence of a common weak Lyapunov function. We consider the class of nonchaotic inputs, which generalize the different notions of…
We consider small nonlinear perturbations of linear systems on a time scale with the phase space being finite or infinite-dimensional. For $\Delta$-differential operators, corresponding to linear dynamic systems we consider their…
We derive a sufficient condition guaranteeing that a singularly perturbed linear time-varying system is strongly monotone with respect to a matrix cone $C$ of rank $k$. This implies that the singularly perturbed system inherits the…
We show that for any positive integer $d$, there are families of switched linear systems---in fixed dimension and defined by two matrices only---that are stable under arbitrary switching but do not admit (i) a polynomial Lyapunov function…
We propose a general Langevin equation describing the universal properties of synchronization transitions in extended systems. By means of theoretical arguments and numerical simulations we show that the proposed equation exhibits,…
This paper analyzes the Lipschitz behavior of the feasible set in two parametric settings, associated with linear and convex systems in R^n. To start with, we deal with the parameter space of linear (finite/semi-infinite) systems identified…
A set of matrices is said to have the finiteness property if the maximal rate of exponential growth of long products of matrices drawn from that set is realised by a periodic product. The extent to which the finiteness property is prevalent…
Given a discrete-time random dynamical system represented by a cocycle of non-singular measurable maps, we may obtain information on dynamical quantities by studying the cocycle of Perron-Frobenius operators associated to the maps. Of…
A random phase property establishing a link between quasi-one-dimensional random Schroedinger operators and full random matrix theory is advocated. Briefly summarized it states that the random transfer matrices placed into a normal system…
