N2 - This paper studies topological entropy and stability properties of switched linear systems. First, we show that the exponential growth rates of solutions of a switched linear system are essentially upper bounded by its topological entropy. Second, we estimate the topological entropy of a switched linear system by decomposing it into a part that is generated by scalar multiples of the identity matrix and a part that has zero entropy, and proving that the overall topological entropy is upper bounded by that of the former. Third, we prove that a switched linear system is globally exponentially stable if its topological entropy remains zero under a destabilizing perturbation. Finally, the entropy estimation via decomposition and the entropy-based stability condition are applied to three classes of switched linear systems to construct novel upper bounds for topological entropy and novel sufficient conditions for global exponential stability.
