On continua of forced stable periodic modes in control systems (Q1913641)

The author considers a system of the form \[ \begin{cases} \dot z & = Az+ bf(t, x)\\ x & = z^t c,\end{cases}\tag{\(*\)} \] where \(A\) is a constant \(n\times n\)-matrix, \(b\) and \(c\) are constant \(n\)-dimensional vectors, and the scalar function \(f\) is \(T\)-periodic with respect to \(t\). It is known that under regularity and other additional assumptions, that there exists at least one \(T\)-periodic solution, stable in the sense of Lyapunov. Moreover, the stability analysis of periodic motions can be reduced to that of the fixed points of the \(T\)-shift operator along the solutions of (1). The author describes an algorithm which identifies cone segments of stable fixed points.
