Abstract

We show that for infinite-dimensional discrete-time positive systems the complex and real stability radii coincide. Furthermore, we provide a simple formula for the complex stability radius of positive systems by the associated transfer function. We illustrate our results with an example dealing with a simple type of differential-difference equations.
