Quadratic Stabilization of Linear Uncertain Positive Discrete-Time Systems

The paper provides extended methods for control linear positive discrete-time systems that are subject to parameter uncertainties, reflecting structural system parameter constraints and positive system properties when solving the problem of system quadratic stability. By using an extension of the Lyapunov approach, system quadratic stability is presented to become apparent in pre-existing positivity constraints in the design of feedback control. The approach prefers constraints representation in the form of linear matrix inequalities, reflects the diagonal stabilization principle in order to apply to positive systems the idea of matrix parameter positivity, applies observer-based linear state control to assert closed-loop system quadratic stability and projects design conditions, allowing minimization of an undesirable impact on matching parameter uncertainties. The method is utilised in numerical examples to illustrate the technique when applying the above strategy.
