 nTitle: A Modern Conjecture on Absolute Stability\n\nAbstract: The class
  of O’Shea–Zames–Falb multipliers currently yields the strongest known r
 esults for establishing the absolute stability of feedback interconnecti
 ons between linear time-invariant (LTI) systems and slope-restricted non
 linearities. In the discrete-time setting\, these multipliers are known 
 to fully characterize the class of such nonlinearities\, motivating the 
 following conjecture: O’Shea–Zames–Falb multipliers are both necessary a
 nd sufficient for absolute stability.\n \nThis talk will begin with a co
 ncise overview of absolute stability theory. We will then present recent
  advances\, including the construction of destabilizing nonlinearities w
 hen the existence of an O’Shea–Zames–Falb multiplier can be ruled out vi
 a duality-based arguments. Finally\, we will discuss current challenges 
 and limitations that remain in resolving this conjecture definitively.\n
