Abstract :
Builds on the previous work by the authors (1998) by defining local versions of cross-positivity for vector fields, especially as related to shifted cones. The paper also furthers the development of a stability theory by introducing preliminary concepts of directed stability. The motivation is to apply this theory to analyzing the control of certain directionally constrained models, such as those found in materials processing
