Abstract

A basic phenomenon in positive system theory is that the dimension N of an arbitrary positive realization of a given transfer function H(z) may be strictly larger than the dimension n of its minimal realizations. The aim of this brief is to provide a non-trivial lower bound on the value of N under the assumption that there exists a time instant k0 at which the (always nonnegative) impulse response of H(z) is 0 but the impulse response becomes strictly positive for all k > k0. Transfer functions with this property may be regarded as extremal cases in positive system theory.
