| contents | Matrix measures induced by vector norms are widely used in contraction theory of nonlinear dynamical systems. A natural and important robustness question is whether negativity of a matrix measure is preserved under arbitrary nonnegative diagonal damping. Matrix measures with this property have been called admissible. We show that an induced matrix measure is admissible if and only if the underlying norm is orthant-monotonic. Equivalently, these are precisely the induced matrix measures satisfying $μ(D) = \max_i\{d_{ii} \}$ for every nonnegative diagonal matrix $D$. We further show that this class is maximal for uniform preservation of contraction under nonnegative diagonal perturbations. The result gives a new geometric characterization of admissibility and clarifies the role of orthant-monotonicity in additive $D$-stability and diffusion-induced instability. |
