Abstract

A standard result of linear system theory states that a SISO rational n-th order transfer function always has a n-th order realization. In some applications one is interested in having a realization with nonnegative entries (i.e. a positive system). In this paper we give a contribution to the discrete-time realization problem by providing explicit necessary and sufficient conditions for a third order transfer function with distinct real positive poles to have a third order positive realization. The conditions are easily testable and the proof is constructive so that it is straighforward to obtain a minimal positive realization.
