(a) Diverging trajectory in the switched systems (2.8) and (2.9), modified by adding within the dead zone, for A = 0.5, B =−0.49 and C =−0.1; time delay τ1 = 0.2, τ2 = 0. The initial history segment for the trajectory (for t ∈ [−τ, 0]) is set to a constant value: θ(t) = 0.94 and x(t) = 0. (b) Transient trajectory for B = −0.51 and other parameters as in (a) converging to a stable pseudo-equilibrium located at (1,0). The initial history segment for the trajectory (for t ∈ [−τ,0]) is set to a constant value: θ(t) = 0.94 and x(t) = 0.
