In this work, switching systems are named endogenous when their switching pattern is controllable. Linear endogenous switching systems can be considered as a particular class of bilinear control systems. The key idea is that both types of systems are equivalent to polysystems i.e. to systems whose flow is piecewise smooth. The reachable set of a linear endogenous switching system can be studied...

A unified graphical modeling technique, “Switching Flow-Graph” is developed to study the nonlinear dynamic behavior of pulse-width-modulated (PWM) switching converters. Switching converters are variable structure systems with linear subsystems. Each subsystem can be represented by a flow-graph. The Switching Flow-Graph is obtained by combining the flowgraphs of the subsystems through the use of...

We propose a systematic method to determine the lower bound for internal buffering of practical CIOQ switching systems. To this end we introduce a deterministic traffic scenario that stresses the global stability of finite output queues. We demonstrate its usefulness by dimensioning the buffer capacity of the CIOQ under such traffic patterns. Compliance with this property maximizes the performa...

Many biological systems can switch between two distinct states. Once switched, the system remains stable for a period of time and may switch back to its original state. A gene network with bistability is usually required for the switching and stochastic effect in the gene expression may induce such switching. A typical bistable system allows one-directional switching, in which the switch from t...

A model is introduced for a switching system consisting of a number of modes (e.g., diierential equations) together with a set of switching rules. The rules permit occasional nonuniqueness but are shown to preserve a continuous dependence property: the limit of solutions is a solution.
