Techniques for the construction of IPRs of discrete-time linear systems are available in the literature. This paper presents a method for the construction of IPRs for continuous-time systems, and provides a theoretical characterization of the stability of the resulting realization. The results presented are relevant in the field of positive continuous-time systems, like compartmental systems and for the implementation of analog filters using VLSI distributed RC interconnects.
