From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Positive invariant set)

In mathematical analysis, a positively (or positive) invariant set is a set with the following properties:

Suppose is a dynamical system, is a trajectory, and is the initial point. Let where is a real-valued function. The set is said to be positively invariant if implies that

In other words, once a trajectory of the system enters , it will never leave it again.
