Piecewise Linear Control Systems
This thesis treats analysis and design of piecewise linear control systems. Piecewise linear systems capture many of the most common nonlinearities in engineering systems, and they can also be used for approximation of other nonlinear systems. Several aspects of linear systems with quadratic …

Non-monotonic Lyapunov functions for stability of nonlinear and switched systems : theory and computation
Lyapunov's direct method, which is based on the existence of a scalar function of the state that decreases monotonically along trajectories, still serves as the primary tool for establishing stability of nonlinear systems. Since the main challenge in stability analysis based on Lyapunov theory is …
