  • Abstract
    In this paper, strong excitability of discrete-time positive switched systems is introduced and characterized in algebraic terms. Being a structural property, which only depends on the nonzero patterns of the matrices involved, strong excitability is investigated by resorting to a graph-theoretic approach, which allows to derive upper bounds on the strong excitability index.
