In this monograph we consider the class of continuous-time positive switched systems. We discuss several problems, including stability, performance analysis, stabilization via switching control, and optimization. The monograph starts with a chapter where several application examples are provided, to motivate the interest in this class of systems. The rest of the monograph is dedicated to the theory of stability, stabilization and performance optimization of positive switched systems. The main existing results are recalled, but also new challenging problems are proposed and solved. Special attention has been devoted to point out those results that specifically pertain to positive (linear) switched systems and do not find a counterpart for the wider class of (nonpositive) linear switched systems.

Abstract
In this monograph we consider the class of continuous-time positive switched systems. We discuss several problems, including stability, performance analysis, stabilization via switching control, and optimization. The monograph starts with a chapter where several application examples are provided, to motivate the interest in this class of systems. The rest of the monograph is dedicated to the theory of stability, stabilization and performance optimization of positive switched systems. The main existing results are recalled, but also new challenging problems are proposed and solved. Special attention has been devoted to point out those results that specifically pertain to positive (linear) switched systems and do not find a counterpart for the wider class of (nonpositive) linear switched systems.Pubblicazioni consigliate
