In this paper, we study stability property for a class of switched systems composed of several subsystems, where each subsystem's vector field is composed of a linear time-invariant part and a nonlinear norm-bounded perturbation part. It is assumed that the linear subsystem matrices are commutative pairwise, and there exists a linear convex stable combination of unstable linear subsystem matrices. First, in the case of no perturbations, we propose a switching law under which the entire switched system is globally exponentially stable. In the switching law, Hurwitz stable subsystems (if exist) are activated arbitrarily while unstable ones are activated in sequence with their duration time periods satisfying a specified ratio. Secondly, under the same switching law, we analyze qualitative property of the switched system in the case where nonlinear norm-bounded perturbations exist. Some numerical examples are given in the paper to demonstrate the results.
