This paper studies the fixed-time stability problem for positive nonlinear systems defined by cooperative vector fields. A criterion is derived to ensure fixed-time stabilization of the positive nonlinear systems using Lyapunov method. In addition, a sufficient condition is also presented for fixed-time stability of switched positive nonlinear systems under arbitrary switching. Simulation examples are provided to demonstrate the obtained results.
