contents R. Shorten, F. Wirth, O. Mason, K. Wulff and C. King have asked whether a linear switched system is guaranteed to be globally uniformly stable under arbitrary switching if it is known that every trajectory induced by a periodic switching law converges exponentially to the origin. Positive answers to this question have previously been announced for linear switched systems of order two and three. We answer this question negatively in all higher orders by constructing a fourth-order linear switched system with four switching states which is not uniformly exponentially stable but which has the property that every trajectory defined by a periodic switching law converges exponentially to the origin. We argue informally that positive linear systems with this combination of properties are likely to exist in sufficiently high dimensions.
