Analysis and Synthesis of Positive Systems Under ?1 and L1 Performance

This thesis introduces novel and significant results regarding the analysis and synthesis of positive systems, especially under l1 and L1 performance. It describes stability analysis, controller synthesis, and bounding positivity-preserving observer and filtering design for a variety of both discrete and continuous positive systems.

It subsequently derives computationally efficient solutions based on linear programming in terms of matrix inequalities, as well as a number of analytical solu...
