Relationship between dissipativity concepts for linear time-varying port-Hamiltonian systems (2412.16396v1)

Abstract: The relationship between different dissipativity concepts for linear time-varying systems is studied, in particular between port-Hamiltonian systems, passive systems, and systems with nonnegative supply. It is shown that linear time-varying port-Hamiltonian systems are passive, have nonnegative supply rates, and solve (under different smoothness assumptions) Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov differential and integral inequalities. The converse relations are also studied in detail. In particular, sufficient conditions are presented to obtain a port-Hamiltonian representation starting from any of the other dissipativity concepts. Two applications are presented.
