Firstly, by using system matrices, we construct a special kind of matrices in appropriate manner. Secondly, our results reveal that the Hurwitz stability of these matrices is equivalent to the existence of a common LCLF for arbitrary finite sets composed of continuous- and discrete-time positive linear timeinvariant( LTI) systems. Finally, a simple example is provided to illustrate the implication of our results. }, journal = {International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences}, volume = {5}, number = {8}, year = {2011}, pages = {1260 - 1265}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/6709}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/56}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 56, 2011}, }
