Nonnegative Matrices in Dynamic Systems

Presented here is a work which applies the theory of nonnegative matrices to problems arising in positive differential and control systems. There is a concise review of requisite material in convex analysis and matrix theory, as well as a detailed review of linear differential and control systems. The exposition incorporates simple real-life dynamic models to better illustrate various aspects of the theory being developed. Exercises are also included. The text will be of interest to applied mathematicians, economists, engineers, operations researchers, and graduate students.
