Summary: The non-negativity of controls in positive linear discrete-time systems usually gives rise to complementarity conditions in the first-order Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions - this complicates the analytic solution and usually leads to numerical solutions. The intrinsic relationship between reachable sets and the minimum-energy problem is exploited in this paper to obtain an analytic solution of the minimum-energy control problem for positive linear discrete-time systems with any pair of fixed terminal (initial and final) states.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1173.93001].
