Abstract
In this paper we discuss the practical stability issue of a switching system in terms of solving
a containability problem and an attraction problem. A novel computational procedure based on
nonlinear programming is presented to compute a containable region, in which each trajectory from
inside cannot move out under a given single-step-lookahead control policy. Then we discuss how to
decide whether the obtained containable region is finitely reachable from a point outside the region.
