Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Stability of a Certain Class of Linear Time-Varying SystemsM. De la SenThis study firstly considers the exponential stability of unforced linear systems of slowly time-varying dynamics. Possible switchings of the system structure to unstable dynamics during certain finite time intervals are admitted. The maintenance of global exponential stability does not necessarily require at most a finite number of switchings in the dynamics while infinitely many switches can also lead to stability. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,935 accessesView PDFCite
