This paper studies the variation diminishing property of $k$-positive linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, which map inputs with $k-1$ sign changes to outputs with at most the same variation. We characterize this property for the Toeplitz…
This paper considers balanced truncation of discrete-time Hankel $k$-positive systems, characterized by Hankel matrices whose minors up to order $k$ are nonnegative. Our main result shows that if the truncated system has order $k$ or less,…
It is shown that an LTI system is a relaxation system if and only if its Hankel operator is cyclic monotone. Cyclic monotonicity of the Hankel operator implies the existence of a storage function whose gradient is the Hankel operator. This…
A linear dynamical system is called $k$-positive if its dynamics maps the set of vectors with up to $k-1$ sign variations to itself. For $k=1$, this reduces to the important class of positive linear systems. Since stable positive linear…
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…
This paper generalizes the physical property of relaxation from linear time-invariant (LTI) to linear time-and-space-invariant (LTSI) systems. It is shown that the defining features of relaxation -- complete monotonicity, passivity, and…
We study $k$-positive linear maps on matrix algebras and address two problems, (i) characterizations of $k$-positivity and (ii) generation of non-decomposable $k$-positive maps. On the characterization side, we derive optimization-based…
The aim of this paper is to address two related estimation problems arising in the setup of hidden state linear time invariant (LTI) state space systems when the dimension of the hidden state is unknown. Namely, the estimation of any finite…
We analyze reflection positive representations in terms of positive Hankel operators. This is motivated by the fact that positive Hankel operators are described in terms of their Carleson measures, whereas the compatibility condition…
It is shown that a positive (bounded linear) operator on a Hilbert space with trivial kernel is unitarily equivalent to a Hankel operator that satisfies double positivity condition if and only if it is non-invertible and has simple spectrum…
The property of linear discrete-time time-invariant system operators mapping inputs with at most $k-1$ sign changes to outputs with at most $k-1$ sign changes is investigated. We show that this property is tractable via the notion of…
We introduce a countable collection of positivity classes for Hermitian symmetric functions on a complex manifold, and establish their basic properties. We study a related notion of stability. The first main result shows that, if the…
The notion of path-complete positivity is introduced as a way to generalize the property of positivity from one LTI system to a family of switched LTI systems whose switching rule is constrained by a finite automaton. The generalization…
In this paper, we investigate the well-posedness and positivity property of infinite-dimensional linear system with unbounded input and output operators. In particular, we characterize the internal and external positivity for this class of…
In this paper, we consider composite networks formed from the Kronecker product of smaller networks. We find the observability and controllability properties of the product network from those of its constituent smaller networks. The overall…
In this paper, we present an impulse response identification scheme that incorporates the internal positivity side-information of the system. The realization theory of positive systems establishes specific criteria for the existence of a…
We investigate the property for an input-output system to map unimodal inputs to unimodal outputs. As a first step, we analyse this property for linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, static nonlinearities, and interconnections of those. In…
We address the problem of learning the parameters of a stable linear time invariant (LTI) system or linear dynamical system (LDS) with unknown latent space dimension, or order, from a single time--series of noisy input-output data. We focus…
We study the problem of stabilizing an unknown partially observable linear time-invariant (LTI) system. For fully observable systems, leveraging an unstable/stable subspace decomposition approach, state-of-art sample complexity is…
Recent works have shown that the $L_1$ and $L_\infty$-gains are natural performance criteria for linear positive systems as they can be characterized using linear programs. Those performance measures have also been extended to linear…
