The positivity and asymptotic stability of descriptor linear continuous-time and discrete-time systems with interval state matrices and interval polynomials are investigated. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the positivity of descriptor continuous-time and discrete-time linear systems are established. It is shown that the convex linear combination of polynomials of positive linear systems is also the Hurwitz polynomial. The Kharitonov theorem is extended to the positive descriptor linear systems with interval state matrices. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the asy mptotic stability of descriptor positive linear systems have been also established. The considerations have been illustrated by numerical examples.
