Abstract: Systems of linear differential equations with constant coefficients, as well as Lotka-Volterra equations, with delays in the off-diagonal terms are considered. Such systems are shown to be asymptotically stable for any choice of delays if and only if the matrix has a negative weakly dominant diagonal.
