Abstract :
Nonnegative linear systems, which have been traditionally investigated within the state-space framework, are here introduced and analyzed by means of the behavioral approach. Starting from certain definitions and results presented by Nieuwenhuis (1982), we have explored the general autonomous case, by deriving an extended set of necessary and sufficient conditions for an autonomous behavior to be nonnegative
