Abstract

The concept of a dissipative system is defined for a deterministic linear system and is satisfied if there exists a storage function and a supply rate such that the dissipation inequality holds. It is proven that a deterministic linear system is dissipative if and only if a related function is a positive-definite function. Any covariance function of a stochastic process is a positive-definite function. An equivalence condition is proven for a deterministic linear system to be dissipative in terms of an algebraic condition, a matrix has to satisfy a linear matrix inequality.
