The relationships between the decoupling zeros of standard and positive discrete-time linear systems are analyzed. It is shown that: 1) if the positive system has decoupling zeros then the corresponding standard system has also decoup- ling zeros, 2) the positive system may not have decoupling zeros when the corresponding standard system has decoupling zeros, 3) the positive and standard systems have the same decoupling zeros if the rank of reachability (observability) matrix is equal to the number of linearly independent monomial columns (rows) and some additional assumptions are satisfied.

Introduction observability of positive discrete-time linear systems are recalled. The decomposition of the pair (A,B) and (A,C) In positive systems inputs, state variables and outputs of positive linear system is addressed in Section 3. The take only non-negative values. Examples of positive sys- main result of the paper is given in Section 4 where the tems are industrial processes
