Friedrichs, in his studies of difference approximations to solutions of symmetric hyperbolic systems, has shown that difference schemes with positive coefficients are stable. In this paper we show that this stability criterion of Friedrichs is valid for difference approximations to arbitrary hyperbolic systems. The proof relies on the convexity and monotonicity of eigenvalues as matrix functions over a linear space of matrices with only real eigenvalues. These theorems, well known in the symmetric case, are proved with the aid of theorems concerning the dependence of solutions of hyperbolic equations on their initial data.
