Stability Analysis of Positive Systems with Applications to Epidemiology
… this thesis, we deal with stability of uncertain positive systems. Although in recent years much attention has been paid to positive systems in general, there are still many areas that are left untouched. One of these areas, is the stability analysis of positive systems under any form of …

Linear-time invariant Positive Systems: Stabilization and the Servomechanism Problem
Positive systems, which carry the well known property of confining the state, output, and/or input variables to the nonnegative orphant, are of great practical importance, as the nonnegative property occurs quite frequently in numerous applications and in nature. These type of systems frequently …

Piecewise smooth systems and monotonicity.
… thesis we study piecewise smooth and switched positive systems and investigate the monotonicity properties of such systems. We describe many examples of such systems, particulary drawing from the mathematical biology literature, in order to motivate the work in later chapters. We describe the …

Condições de otimalidade para sistemas discretos no tempo com controle limitado pelo Estado
… defined for this class. It is shown that linear positive systems of a type frequently encountered in economic systems satisfy the modified maximum principle. A number of detailed examples are given throug out the text.

Differential Privacy and Opacity for Positive Linear Systems and Observers
Positive systems are important for application such as transportation, population dynamics and epidemiology. These systems can sometimes make use of sensitive personal information, which leads to the challenge of publishing this information in a way that guarantees individuals’ privacy, while …

Control design techniques for constrained positive compartmental systems with applications to air traffic flow management
The current air traffic management system has been pushed to its limit and will not be able to keep up with the predicted increase in air traffic over the coming years. Recent research in air traffic management is concerned with increasing the capacity and throughput of the National Airspace System …

A control theoretic approach to mitigate viral escape in HIV
… assumptions the model can be seen to be a positive switched dynamic system. Consequently we test clinical treatments and allow preliminary control analysis for switching treatments. After introducing the biological background and models, we formulate the problem of treatment scheduling to …

Topics in Cooperative Control
… main themes of this thesis are networked dynamic systems and related cooperative control problems. We shall contribute a number of technical results to the stability theory of switched positive systems, and present a new cooperative control paradigm that leads to several cooperative control …

Information spread in networks: games, optimal control, and stabilization
… remains within the network. Using notions from positive systems theory, we provide conditions for the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium points in both cases over strongly and weakly connected directed networks based on the value of the basic reproduction number, a fundamental …

On l∞ performance optimization: linear switched systems and systems with cone constraints
The l∞ performance of Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) systems has been one of the corner stones of the robust control theory for over the past 30 years. The l∞ performance has been studied mostly for LTI systems and the scarcity of the results for other types of systems is prominent in this area. This …
