Controllability of positive linear discrete-time systems

Abstract

The class of positive linear discrete-time systems is considered. Reachability sets of such systems, denned on cones, are studied and some of their properties established. Reachability, null-controllability and controllability criteria are obtained in forms that are easier to implement than the corresponding criteria for linear discrete-time systems of general type. Some classes of positive linear discrete-time systems are investigated and their controllability properties are established.
