Abstract

Closed-loop positivity of feedback interconnections of positive monotone nonlinear systems is investigated. It is shown that an instantaneous gain condition on the open-loop systems which implies feedback well-posedness also guarantees feedback positivity. Furthermore, the notion of integral linear constraints (ILC) is utilised as a tool to characterise uncertainty in positive feedback systems. Robustness analysis of positive linear time-varying and nonlinear feedback systems is studied using ILC, paralleling the well-known results based on integral quadratic constraints.
