D-Stability and Delay-Independent Stability of Homogeneous Cooperative Systems

We introduce a nonlinear definition of D-stability, extending the usual concept for positive linear time-invariant systems. We show that globally asymptotically stable, cooperative systems, homogeneous of any order with respect to arbitrary dilation maps are D-stable. We also prove a strong stability result for delayed cooperative homogeneous systems. Finally, we show that both of these results also hold for planar cooperative systems without the restriction of homogeneity.
