Abstract
Linear positive systems are utilized in various scientific areas such as economic modelling, behavioural science, stochastic processes etc. A recent study has focused on some sufficient conditions for the controllability of these systems. A full characterization is provided of the controllability for discrete-time single-input positive systems. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived using a digraph-theoretic approach. The main results show that strong constraints are to be imposed on the digraph associated with the pair (A, b) to ensure the controllability of the system.Keywords
