In this paper, we give a characterization of spectral abscissa of positive linear functional differential equations. Then the obtained result is applied to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the exponential stability of positive linear functional differential equations. Finally, we give an extension of the classical Perron–Frobenius theorem to positive linear functional differential equations.

Keywords: Perron–Frobenius theorem; functional differential equation; positive system; stability of linear system.
