Abstract

Joint spectral characteristics describe the stationary behavior of a discrete time linear switching system. Well, that’s what an electrical engineer would say. A mathematician would say that they characterize the asymptotic behavior of a semigroup of matrices, and a computer scientist would perhaps see them as describing languages generated by automata.
