Abstract The positivity and absolute stability of a class of fractional nonlinear continuous-time and discrete-time systems are addressed. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the positivity of this class of nonlinear systems are established. Sufficient conditions for the absolute stability of this class of fractional positive nonlinear systems are also given.

This paper proposes a method for computing finite regions of exponential stability from solutions of the absolute stability problem. A best quadratic estimate of the regions is found for a class of nonlinear characteristics which belong to a modified Lur’e sector. For a class of nonautonomous differential equations, a bound on the forcing function is found which guarantees that all the corresponding solutions remain inside the computed region.
