A well known result in the theory of linear positive systems is the existence of positive definite diagonal matrix (PDDM) solutions to some well known linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). In this paper, based on the positivity characterization, a novel bounded real lemma for continuous positive descriptor systems in terms of strict LMI is first established by the separating hyperplane theorem. The result developed here provides a necessary and sufficient condition for systems to possess H∞H∞ norm less than γ and shows the existence of PDDM solution. Moreover, under certain condition, a simple model reduction method is introduced, which can preserve positivity, stability and H∞H∞ norm of the original systems. An advantage of such method is that systems׳ matrices of the reduced order systems do not involve solving of LMIs conditions. Then, the obtained results are extended to discrete case. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
