Abstract
In this paper we will consider discrete time invariant linear systems that allow for an input-state-output representation with a finite dime nsional state space, and that have a finite number of inputs and outpu ts. The basic issue in this paper is when to call these systems nonneg ative. An important concept in this respect is that of the most powerf ul unfalsified model. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Inc.
