Hurwitzness of AA^{-} implies local stability in the on-demand agent system

Consider the fluid-limit dynamics of the on-demand agent service system, represented by switched linear systems with system matrices AA^{-} and A+A^{+}. A matrix is Hurwitz when all its eigenvalues have strictly negative real parts. Hurwitz-matrix stability conjecture. If AA^{-} is Hurwitz, then the system is locally stable. In this model, A+A^{+} is always Hurwitz. This conjecture is motivated by numerical and simulation experiments; the paper presents it as a sufficient condition but does not prove it in general.
