Sommario/riassunto

A complete study on an important class of linear dynamical systems-positive linear systemsOne of the most often-encountered systems in nearly all areas of science and technology, positive linear systems is a specific but remarkable and fascinating class. Renowned scientists Lorenzo Farina and Sergio Rinaldi introduce readers to the world of positive linear systems in their rigorous but highly accessible book, rich in applications, examples, and figures.This professional reference is divided into three main parts: The first part contains the definitions and basic properties of p
