Stability radii of higher order linear difference systems under multi-perturbations.

We study stability radii of higher order linear difference systems under multi-perturbations. A formula for complex stability radius of higher order linear difference systems under multi-perturbations is given. Then, for the class of positive systems, we prove that the complex stability radius and real stability radius of the system under multi-perturbations coincide and they are computed via a simple formula. These are extensions of corresponding results of Hinrichsen and Son, Hinrichsen et al., Ngoc and Son, and Pappas and Hinrichsen. An example is given to illustrate the obtained results.
