Linear positive control systems on time scales. Controllability
  Positive linear systems on arbitrary time scales are studied. The theory developed in the paper unifies and extends concepts and results known for continuous-time and discrete-time systems. A necessary and sufficient condition for a linear system on a time scale to be positive is presented. Properties of positive reachable sets are investigated and characterizations of various controllability properties are presented. A modified Gram matrix of the system is used to state necessary and sufficient condition of positive reachability of a positive system on an arbitrary time scale.
