“…One is to consider pre-specified (partial) reset and to study the system stability, the other is to investigate how to stabilize the system, when possible, by finding a suitable (partial) reset (stabilization by reset). In this paper the second standpoint is adopted: we consider that the switching signal is arbitrary and study the stabilization by partial reset, in line with what is done in Brás et al (2013). Note that, in many other approaches, see for instance Zhao, Yin, Li, and Niu (2015); Zhao, Zhang, Shi, and Liu (2012), where the switching is not arbitrary, the stabilization is made by picking suitable switching signals.…”
