Linear Copositive Lyapunov Functions for Continuous-Time Positive Switched Systems

Abstract

Continuous-time positive systems, switching among subsystems, are introduced, and a complete characterization for the existence of a common linear copositive Lyapunov function for all the subsystems is provided. When the subsystems are obtained by applying different feedback control laws to the same continuous-time single-input positive system, the above characterization leads to a very easy checking procedure

Diagonal Riccati stability and positive time-delay systems

“…Note that it is not in general true that any exponentially stable system (2) possesses a Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional of this simple form. Positive systems, for which non-negative initial conditions give rise to nonnegative evolutions arise in applications ranging from Biology to Economics [2,3,17,7]. It is known [7] that the time-delay system (2) is positive if and only if…”

L1-induced Performance Analysis for Positive Systems with Interval Uncertainties

“…For example, controllability and reachability for positive systems have been studied in [14] and [15]. The positive state-space representation for a given transfer function has been proposed in [12]. For non-negative and time-delay compartmental dynamic systems, stability has been thoroughly studied in [18][19].…”

Positive filtering for positive Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems under ℓ1 performance

“…Therefore, many new problems appear and some previous approach used for general systems are no longer applicable to positive systems. In recent years, such systems have been studied in the literature [3], [4], [5], [6]. For example, for a given transfer function, a positive state-space representation has been proposed in [7].…”
