Constrained control of switched positive systems with discrete and distributed delays

This paper is concerned with constrained control of switched positive linear systems with discrete and distributed delays. Our goal is to design a nonnegative controller with a prescribed upper bound, such that the closed-loop system is positive and its state trajectory is located in a boundary whenever the initial condition is within the same boundary. In addition, we investigate the case when the state trajectory never reaches the boundary. It is shown that these problems are solvable via linear programming. Both continuous- and discrete-time cases are investigated in this paper. Finally, several illustrative examples are provided to show the validity of the proposed approach.
