Improved reachable set estimation for positive systems: a polyhedral approach (Q2663846)

There are considered positive systems \[ \displaystyle{\dot{x} = Ax + Bw(t)} \] i.e. with the property that \(\forall x(0)\succeq 0\) (in the first orthant) and \(\forall w(t)\succeq 0\), \(\forall t\geq 0\) it follows that \(x(t)\succeq 0\), \(\forall t\geq 0\). It is considered the reachability problem for for bounded inputs in \(L_\infty (0,\infty)\) with \(\parallel w(t)\parallel\leq 1\). There are given polyhedral estimates of the reachability sets and algorithms to find them.
