An optimal control problem on finite-dimensional positive cones is stated. Under a critical assumption on the cone, the corresponding Bellman equation is satisfied by a linear function, which can be computed by convex optimization. A separate theorem relates the assumption on the cone to the existence of minimal elements in certain subsets of the dual cone. Three special cases are derived as examples. The first one, where the positive cone is the set of positive semi-definite matrices, reduces to standard linear quadratic control. The second one, where the positive cone is a polyhedron, reduces to a recent result on optimal control of positive systems. The third special case corresponds to linear quadratic control with additional structure, such as spatial invariance., Comment: 16 pages, to be published in the proceedings for the 2024 Conference on Decision and Control (CDC)
