In this paper we propose a contour integral method for computing the rightmost characteristic roots of systems of linear time‐delay differential equations (DDEs). These roots are very important in the context of stability analysis of the time‐delay systems. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by some numerical experiments.
