It is named after the American economist [[Lloyd Metzler]].
 
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 matrix | nonnegative matrices]] to matrices of the form ''M''&nbsp;+&nbsp;''aI'' where ''M'' is a Metzler matrix.
 
== Definition and terminology ==
In [[mathematics]], especially [[linear algebra]], a [[matrix (mathematics)|matrix]] is called '''Metzler''', '''quasipositive''' (or '''quasi-positive''') or '''essentially nonnegative''' if all of its elements are [[non-negative]] except for those on the main diagonal, which are unconstrained. That is, a Metzler matrix is any matrix ''A'' which satisfies
 
:<math>A=(a_{ij});\quad a_{ij}\geq 0, \quad i\neq j.</math>
 
Metzler matrices are also sometimes referred to as <math>Z^{(-)}</math>-matrices, as a [[Z-matrix (mathematics)|''Z''-matrix]] is equivalent to a negated quasipositive matrix.

== Properties ==
The [[Matrix exponential|exponential]] of a Metzler (or quasipositive) matrix is a [[nonnegative matrix]] because of the corresponding property for the exponential of a [[Nonnegative matrix]]. This is natural, once one observes that the generator matrices of continuous-time finite-state [[Markov Processes]] are always Metzler matrices, and that probability distributions are always non-negative.
 
 
A Metzler matrix has an [[eigenvector]] in the nonnegative orthant because of the corresponding property for nonnegative matrices.
