Assuming that the latter is specified by a strongly convex set, we establish estimates for the Lyapunov exponents which quantify the rate of convergence of the system trajectories to a forced periodic regime when the input is a periodic function of time. These results employ enhanced dissipation inequalities for differential inclusions with strongly convex sets, which were used previously for the Moreau sweeping process.This work is supported by the Australian Research Council under grant DP180101805.application/pdfen-AU© 2020 IEEE202010.23919/ECC51009.2020.91436482022-10-02
