Foundations and Trends(r) in Systems and Positive Markov Jump Linear Systems, Book 6, (Paperback)

Positive Markov Jump Linear Systems are piecewise positive linear systems affected by a stochastic signal generated by a Markov chain. Positive systems naturally arise in the description of biological systems, compartmental models, population dynamics, traffic modeling, chemical reactions, queue processes, and so on. A rich literature on positive linear systems is now available. Positive Markov Jump Linear Systems is the first work to provide an overview of these developments. It outlines the typical applications of such systems, giving a detailed description of the mathematical theory underpinning the subject. Positive Markov Jump Linear Systems provides a comprehensive and timely introduction to the study of such systems. Readers who are new to the topic will find everything required to understand such systems in a concise and accessible form.
