A Characterization of Reachable Positive Periodic Descriptor Systems
Periodic descriptor system with nonnegative restrictions and its associated invariant cyclically augmented system (ICAS) are analyzed. The weakly... -
On the Positive Reachability of 2D Positive Systems
Local reachability of two-dimensional (2D) positive systems, by means of positive scalar inputs, is addressed by means of a graph theoretic approach.... -
The Character of an Idempotent-analytic Nonlinear Small Gain Theorem
In this paper a general nonlinear input-to-state stability small gain theory is described using idempotent analytic techniques. The theorem is proved... -
Positive Systems with Nondecreasing Controls. Existence and Well-posedness
In the paper we consider a linear system with nondecreasing controls and a convex cost functional. Basing it on classical methods and the theory of... -
6 Stochastic Passivity
Passivity of deterministic linear systems plays an important role in network theory and in adaptive control. The fact that a system is passive... -
4 Continuous-time Systems: Tracking Control
In this chapter we treat the problem of H∞ tracking with stochastic multiplicative white noise. We extend the work of [98], which does not involve... -
C Appendix: The Discrete DLMI Method
We consider the following system: $$ x_{k+1}=A_kx_k + B_k w_k, \quad k=0,1,... -
Modeling Hybrid Positive Systems with Hybrid Petri Nets
In this paper the possibility of modeling positive systems by means of Hybrid Petri Nets (HPN) is discussed. Hybrid (or Fluid) Petri Nets are Petri... -
Note on Structural Properties and Sizes of Eigenspaces of Min-max Functions
In this paper, we study relationships among structural properties of min-max functions and complexity on deciding the sizes of the eigenspaces of... -
Countercurrent Double-pipe Heat Exchangers are a Special Type of Positive Systems
Countercurrent liquid-liquid double-pipe heat exchangers prove to be a special type of positive systems: namely, they are compartmental and... -
Towards Whole Cell “in Silico” Models for Cellular Systems: Model Set-up and Model Validation
Based on recent developments for new measurement technologies that enable researches to get quantitative information on intracellular processes, the... -
Positive Linear Systems Reachability Criterion in Digraph Form
Reachability criterion in digraph form for discrete-time positive linear systems in terms of the non-negative pair (A, B) is obtained. The criterion... -
Min-plus and Max-plus System Theory Applied to Communication Networks
Network Calculus is a set of recent developments, which provide a deep insight into flow problems encountered in networking. It can be viewed as the... -
Paths and Cycles in the Totally Positive Completion Problem
An n × n real matrix is said to be totally positive if every minor is nonnegative. In this paper, we are interested in totally positive completion... -
State Feedback Set Stabilization for a Class of Nonlinear Systems
A controller for a class of multiple input systems is proposed, with a subset of nonlinear positive systems as a special case. The controller is... -
On Nonnegative Realizations
Problems of nonnegative finite dimensional realizations of a nonnegative impulse response (or, equivalently, Markov sequence) or of a given rational... -
Reachability Graph for Autonomous Continuous Petri Nets
An autonomous continuous Petri net is a model in which the time is not involved, the marking is a vector or non-negative real numbers, and a... -
Positivity and Invariance Properties of Nonisothermal Tubular Reactor Nonlinear Models
The existence and uniqueness of the state trajectories (temperature and reactant concentration) and the existence and multiplicity of equilibrium... -
Digraph-based Conditioning for Markov Chains
Let T be an irreducible stochastic matrix, so that we can consider T to be the transition matrix for a Markov chain; one of the central quantities of... -
A PLDS Model of Pollution in Connected Water Reservoirs
In this paper a PLDS (positive linear discrete time system) model of pollution in connected water reservoirs is described. At the beginning, the...
