Abstract
In the talk the basic results on stability, stabilization and optimal control of positive switched linear systems are briefly overviewed. It is shown that under some assumptions one can exploit the convexity of the cost function, thus paving the way to easy numerical solutions. A fundamental technical tool is also played by the so-called by the so-called co-positive Lyapunov-Metzler inequalities, generating an “arg-min” switching rule capable to stabilize the system and provide an upper bound on the optimal cost. Moreover, the classical AIMD (additive increasing multiplicative decreasing) algorithm is presented and its effectiveness in distributed scheduling problems is shown. Finally, three application-oriented problems are briefly illustrated, namely (i) Theraphy scheduling for HIV load mitigation, (ii) Traffic light scheduling in road junctions, (iii) AIMD based distributed car battery charging in public parking.
