Moreover, this observation unifies three setups: (i) difference inclusions, (ii) matrix-valued rational functions, (iii) realization arrays associated with rational functions. It turns out that in the continuous-time case, the associated structure is if of maximal matrix-convex, cones, closed under inversion.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-02-16T18:05:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "passive linear discrete-time systems", "characterization", "discrete-time passive linear systems", "matrix-convex sets", "maximal matrix-convex" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
