Differential Positivity on Compact Sets (1508.04232v1)
Published 18 Aug 2015 in cs.SY and math.DS
Abstract: The paper studies differentially positive systems, that is, systems whose linearization along an arbitrary trajectory is positive. We illustrate the use of differential positivity on compact forward invariant sets for the characterization of bistable and periodic behaviors. Geometric conditions for differential positivity are provided. The introduction of compact sets simplifies the use of differential positivity in applications.
