Stabilizing the Metzler matrices with applications to dynamical systemsAbstractReal matrices with non-negative off-diagonal entries play a crucial role for modelling the positive linear dynamical systems. In the literature, these matrices are referred to as Metzler matrices or negated Z-matrices. Finding the closest stable Metzler matrix to an unstable one (and vice versa) is an important issue with many applications. The stability considered here is in the sense of Hurwitz, and the distance between...
