AbstractPositive dynamical or control systems have all their variables nonnegative. Euler discretization transforms a continuous-time system into a system on a discrete time scale. Some structural properties of the system may be preserved by discretization, while other may be lost. Four fundamental properties of positive systems are studied in the context of discretization: positivity, positive stability, positive reachability and positive observability. Both linear and nonlinear systems are investigated.

AbstractThe positivity and stability of standard and fractional descriptor continuous-time linear and nonlinear systems are addressed. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the positivity of descriptor linear and sufficient conditions for nonlinear systems are established. Using an extension of Lyapunov method sufficient conditions for the stability of positive nonlinear systems are given. The considerations are extended to fractional nonlinear systems.

A new approach for estimating linear and nonlinear continuous-time models directly from noisy observations is introduced using wavelet decompositions. Results using both simulated and experimental data are included to demonstrate the performance of the new algorithm.

The questions connected with mathematical modeling of transformation of non-Gaussian random processes, signals and noise in linear and nonlinear systems are considered and analyzed. The mathematical transformation of random processes in linear inertial systems consisting of both series and parallel connected links, as well as positive and negative feedback is analyzed. The mathematical transformation of random processes with polygamous density of probability distribution during their passage through such systems is considered. Nonlinear inertial and non-linear systems are analyzed.
