Stability For Linear State Space Models
A linear state space model
is asymptotically stable (in fact, exponentially stable) if all real parts of the eigenvalues of are negative. This condition is equivalent to the following one:
has a solution where and (positive definite matrices). (The relevant Lyapunov function is .)
Correspondingly, a time-discrete linear state space model
is asymptotically stable (in fact, exponentially stable) if all the eigenvalues of have a modulus smaller than one.
This latter condition has been generalized to switched systems: a linear switched discrete time system (ruled by a set of matrices )
is asymptotically stable (in fact, exponentially stable) if the joint spectral radius of the set is smaller than one.

Famous quotes containing the words stability, state, space and/or models:
“Every nation ... whose affairs betray a want of wisdom and stability may calculate on every loss which can be sustained from the more systematic policy of its wiser neighbors.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“Whoso taketh in hand to frame any state or government ought to presuppose that all men are evil, and at occasions will show themselves so to be.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)
“In the tale proper—where there is no space for development of character or for great profusion and variety of incident—mere construction is, of course, far more imperatively demanded than in the novel.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“... your problem is your role models were models.”
—Jane Wagner (b. 1935)
