A converse Lyapunov theorem for a class of dynamical systems which undergo switching
The authors investigate the stability of a system in which the dynamics at any instant in time will follow one of a fixed set of vector fields. They allow switching between members of the family of vector fields to be completely random. The focus of this paper is to prove a converse Lyapunov theorem for this class of systems.
