On eigenvectors of convex processes in non-pointed cones

Abstract

Spectral analysis of convex processes has led to many results in the analysis of differential inclusions with a convex process. In particular the characterization of eigenvalues with eigenvectors in a given cone has led to results on controllability and stabilizability. However, these characterizations can handle only pointed cones. This paper will generalize all known results characterizing eigenvalues of convex processes with eigenvectors in a given cone. In addition, we reveal the link between the assumptions on our main theorem and classical geometric control theory.
