Maximal stability bounds of discrete-time singularly perturbed systems
The realization problem for positive multivariable discrete-time systems with one time delay is formulated and solved. Conditions for the solvability of the realization problem are established. A procedure for the computation of a minimal positive realization of a proper rational matrix is presented and illustrated by an example.
A generic structure of reachable and controllable positive linear systems is given in terms of some characteristic components (monomial subdigraphs) of the digraph of a non-negative a pair. The properties of monomial subdigraphs are examined and used to derive reachability and controllability criteria in a digraph form for the general case when the system matrix may contain zero columns. The graph-theoretic nature of these criteria makes them computationally more efficient than their known equivalents....
