The article revisits Aizerman and Kalman conjectures for absolute stability through the lens of a novel graphical interpretation. Even though these conjectures have been proven false, such a graphical interpretation suggests natural ways to introduce additional conditions in order to obtain new valid absolute stability criteria.

Abstract

The article revisits Aizerman and Kalman conjectures for absolute stability through the lens of a novel graphical interpretation. Even though these conjectures have been proven false, such a graphical interpretation suggests natural ways to introduce additional conditions in order to obtain new valid absolute stability criteria. As an illustration, the article proves a new absolute stability criterion obtained by the iterative application of a variation of the circle criterion.
