In this paper, we deal with discrete‐time linear control systems in which the state is constrained to lie in the positive orthantR + nindependently of the inputs involved, that is, the inputs can take negative values. Such (positive state) systems appear, for example, in ecology models where the removal of individuals from a population is described. Controllability and reachability are fundamental properties of a system that show its ability to move in space, which are analyzed from an algebraic point of view throughout the text, paying special attention to the single‐input case.
