In this paper, we address the problem of the fundamentals and stability analysis for a class of positive fractional-order two-dimensional (2-D) systems with time-varying delays. Firstly, based on the Banach fixed point theorem, the fundamentals, including the existence, the uniqueness and the continuous dependence of solution, are studied. Next, by using the continuous dependence of solution, a condition for the positivity is derived. Lastly, by developing a solution comparison method, which is based on the system’s positivity, a sufficient condition for the asymptotic stability of the considered system is established. A numerical example is also provided to illustrate the theoretical results.
