Abstract: For switched systems that switch between distinct globally stable equilibria, we offer closed-form formulas that lock oscillations in the required neighborhood of the equilibria. Motivated by non-spiking neuron models, the main focus of the paper is on the case of planar switched affine systems, where we use properties of nested cylinders coming from quadratic Lyapunov functions. In particular, for the first time ever, we use the dwell-time concept in order to give an explicit condition for non-spiking of linear neuron models with periodically switching current. An extension to the general nonlinear case is also given.


The paper studies a class of planar switched affine systems that switch between systems with distinct globally stable equilibria. Using the dwell-time concept, explicit conditions are derived for the attractors of a system never to cross a given threshold. This type of behavior corresponds to the oscillations that are localized in the desired neighborhood of the equilibria. Then, the derived conditions are applied to a linear neuron model forcing its state to evolve in the sub-threshold mode, i.e., without spiking.
