Many cyber-physical systems can naturally be formulated as switched systems with constrained switching. This includes systems where one of the signals in the feedback loop may be lost. Possible sources for losses are shared or unreliable…

The energy transition is causing many stability-related challenges for power systems. Transient stability refers to the ability of a power grid's bus angles to retain synchronism after the occurrence of a major fault. In this paper a…
We say that an algorithm is stable if small changes in the input result in small changes in the output. This kind of algorithm stability is particularly relevant when analyzing and visualizing time-varying data. Stability in general plays…
