Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems with piecewise differentiable parameters is a class of LPV systems for which no proper analysis conditions have been obtained so far. To fill this gap, we propose an approach based on the theory of…

Conformal geodesics are solutions to a system of third order of equations, which makes a Lagrangian formulation problematic. We show how enlarging the class of allowed variations leads to a variational formulation for this system with a…
