Stabilizability of switched linear systems does not imply the existence of convex Lyapunov functions
Counterexamples are given which show that a linear switched system (with controlled switching) that can be stabilized by means of a suitable switching law does not necessarily admi...

Optimal complexity reduction of polyhedral piecewise affine systems
This paper focuses on the NP-hard problem of reducing the complexity of piecewise polyhedral systems (e.g. polyhedral piecewise affine (PWA) systems). The results are fourfold. Fi...
