Abstract

In this talk we start from the basics about linear copositive Lyapunov functions for positive systems, followed by the characterization of the L1-induced norm of positive systems by means of linear inequalities (linear programming problems). We show that, a slightly generalized version, weighted L1-induced norm, is useful for the stability analysis of interconnected systems constructed from positive subsystems. More precisely, we show that the interconnected system is stable if and only if there exists a set of weighting vectors that renders the weighted L1-induced norm of each positive subsystem smaller than one. We show that this result can be applied to the stability margin analysis problem of the Foschini-Miljanic algorithm for power control in wireless networks .
