Abstract

The paper 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.
