Observability of Switched Linear Systems in Continuous Time

Abstract. We study continuous-time switched linear systems with unobserved and exogenous mode signals. We analyze the observability of the initial state and initial mode under arbitrary switching, and characterize both properties in both the autonomous and non-autonomous cases.
