Abstract
We observe that successive applications of known results from the theory of positive systems lead to an efficient general algorithm for positive realizations of transfer functions. We give two examples to illustrate the algorithm, one of which complements an earlier result of [L. Benvenuti, L. Farina, An example of how positivity may force realizations of ‘large’ dimensions, Systems Control Lett. 36 (1999) 261–266]. Finally, we improve a lower-bound of [B. Nagy, M. Matolcsi, A lower-bound on the dimension of positive realizations, IEEE Trans. Circuits Syst. I 50 (2003) 782–784] to indicate that the algorithm is indeed efficient in general.
