Two-sided estimates for solutions to the Cauchy problem for Wazewski linear differential systems with delay

The Cauchy problem is considered for Wazewski linear differential systems with finite delay. The right-hand sides of systems contain nonnegative matrices and diagonal matrices with negative diagonal entries. The initial data are nonnegative functions. The matrices in equations are such that the zero solution is asymptotically stable. Two-sided estimates for solutions to the Cauchy problem are constructed with the use of the method of monotone operators and the properties of nonsingular M-matrices. The estimates from below and above are zero and exponential functions with parameters determined by solutions to some auxiliary inequalities and equations. Some estimates for solutions to several particular problems are constructed.
