Positivity and stability of fractional 2D Lyapunov systems described by the Roesser model

A new class of fractional 2D Lyapunov systems described by the Roesser models is introduced. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the positivity and asymptotic stability of the new class of systems are established. It is shown that the checking of the asymptotic stability of positive 2D fractional Lyapunov systems can be reduced to testing the asymptotic stability of corresponding positive standard 1D discrete-time systems. The considerations are illustrated by a numerical example.
