Abstract: A matrix is called a P-matrix if all its principal minors are positive. P-matrices have found important applications in functional analysis, mathematical programming, and dynamical systems theory. We introduce a new class of real matrices denoted~$EP$. A matrix is in~$EP$ if and only if its matrix exponential is a P-matrix for all positive times. In other words, $AinEP$ if and only if the transition matrix of the linear system~$dotx=Ax$ is a P-matrix for any positive time~$t$. We analyze the properties of this new class of matrices and describe an application of our theoretical results to opinion dynamics.
