In this paper, the problems of L1(l1)-gain performance analysis and pos-itive controller design are investigated for continuous-time (discrete-time) positive
linear delay systems. Due to the nonnegative property of positive systems, it is natural to evaluate the system performance via L1(l1)-gain. Firstly, the necessary and sufficient condition is given to guarantee that the positive linear delay system is asymptotically and internally stable and satisfies the prescribed L1(l1)-gain perfor- mance. Then, based on the above condition, for the single-input system, by using the singular value decomposition (SVD) approach, the necessary and sufficient condition is provided for the existence of the positive L1(l1)-controller. This condition can be described as a nonlinear programming (NLP) problem. The proposed approach can be extended to the multi-input case and the existence condition is obtained for the controller with a special form. Finally, two numerical examples are given to show the effeciveness of the theoretical rsults.
