Let $A \in \mathcal{M}_{n}(\mathbb{R})$ be a positively stable matrix. We consider the endomorphism $\Phi$ of $\mathcal{M}_{n}(\mathbb{R})$ such that $$\forall M \in \mathcal{M}_{n}(\mathbb{R}), \quad \Phi(M) = A^{\top} M + MA$$ Show that $\Phi$ is positively stable, that is, its matrix in any basis of $\mathcal{M}_{n}(\mathbb{R})$ is positively stable.
