A Metzler Matrix is a matrix in which all the off-diagonal components are nonnegative (equal to or greater than zero)

Metzler matrices appear in stability analysis of time delayed differential equations and positive linear dynamical systems. Their properties can be derived by applying the properties of Nonnegative matrices to matrices of the form where M is Metzler.

Properties

The exponential of a Metzler Matrix is a Nonnegative matrix because of the corresponding property for the exponential of a Nonnegative matrix.

A Metzler Matrix has an eigenvector in the nonnegative orthant with a nonnegative eigenvalue because of the corresponding property for nonnegative matrices.
