Polytopic coverings and robust stability analysis via Lyapunov quadratic forms

In this chapter we have discussed the problem of immersing the image of a given function into a polytope. This has several applications in the field of robust stability analysis of linear systems subject to uncertain time-varying parameters. After a review of the existing literature we have proposed an algorithm which works under quite general assumptions.
