We obtain a representation theorem for multivariate switched linear systems. The stability properties of the tensor-product representation are investigated in depth, achieving the important result that any stable switched systems can be constructed a stable tensor-product representation of finite dimension. It is shown that the tensor-product representation provides a high level framework for describing the dynamic behavior. The interpretation of expressions within the tensor-product representation framework leads to enhanced conceptual and physical understanding of switched linear systems dynamic behavior. %K Switched Linear Systems %K Tensor-Product Representation %K Stability %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=55165
