time-delays are important components of many dynamical systems that describe coupling or interconnection between dynamics, propagation or transport phenomena, and heredity and competition in population dynamics. the stabilization with time delay in observation or control represents difficult mathematical challenges in the control of distributed parameter systems. it is well-known that the stabi...

In positive systems inputs, state variables and outputs take only non-negative values. Examples of positive systems are industrial processes involving chemical reactors, heat exchangers and distillation columns, storage systems, compartmental systems, or water and atmospheric pollution models. A variety of models having positive linear behavior can be found in engineering, management science, e...

Abstract Lossless positive-real systems have been widely studied in the literature. They are which energy is entirely transferred between input and output. In this paper, new aspects related to linear quadratic gaussian (LQG) control of lossless reported including both continuous-time discrete-time cases. Direct formulas for calculation optimal gains will be introduced properties different stru...

A new method for computation of positive realizations given transfer matrices linear discrete-time systems is proposed. Sufficient conditions the existence are given. procedure proposed and illustrated by an example.

Notions of externally and internally positive singular discrete-time linear systems are introduced. It is shown that a singular discrete-time linear system is externally positive if and only if its impulse response matrix is non-negative. Sufficient conditions are established under which a single-output singular discrete-time system with matrices in canonical forms is internally positive. It is...
