In applications we meet with positive (nonnegative) systems. A system generated by a linear differential equation with a Metzler-matrix is called a nonnegative system. The paper shows the basic dynamic properties of nonnegative continuous-time systems. Considered was the example of an oscillating electrical circuit with a cyclic Metzler-matrix, enabling the correct physical interpretations.
