Abstract

We here show that the family of finite-dimensional, continuous-time, passive, linear, time-invariant systems can be characterized through the structure of maximal matrix-convex cones, closed under inversion. Moreover, this observation unifies three setups: (i) differential inclusions, (ii) matrix-valued rational functions, (iii) realization arrays associated with rational functions. It turns out that in the discrete-time case, the corresponding structure is of a maximal matrix-convex set, closed under multiplication among its elements.
