Impulsive effects on the stability and stabilization of positive systems with delays

This study addresses the exponential stability and positive stabilization problems of impulsive positive systems (IPSs) with time delay. Specially, three types of impulses, namely, disturbance, “neutral”, and stabilizing impulses, are considered. For each type of impulsive effect, the exponential stability criterion is established utilizing the Lyapunov-Razumikhin techniques. Moreover, on the basis of the obtained stability results, the state-feedback controller design problem is investigated to positively stabilize the IPSs with time delay under different types of impulsive effects. Finally, numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
