On the Diagonal Stability of $k$-Positive Linear Systems




Abstract: We consider k-positive linear systems, that is, systems that map the set of vectors with up to k−1 sign variations to itself. For k=1, this reduces to positive linear systems. It is well-known that stable positive linear time invariant (LTI) systems admit a diagonal Lyapunov function. This property has many important implications. A natural question is whether stable k-positive systemsalso admit a diagonal Lyapunov function. This paper shows that, in general, the answer is no. However, for both continuous-time and discrete-time n-dimensional systems that are (n−1)-positive we provide a sufficient condition for diagonal stability.
