On positive linear Volterra-Stieltjes differential systems (Q1035221)

The authors provide a sequence of new results and insights into positive linear Volterra-Stieltjes differential systems. The main features of the paper are that it provides several characterizations of positive systems, a criterion for uniform asymptotic stability of positive systems, and provides results on stability radii of positive linear Volterra-Stieltjes differential systems. An appendix provides detailed proofs of some of the intermediate results.
