Liénard-Chipart criterion
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
A modification of the Routh–Hurwitz criterion, which reduces all calculations in it to the calculation of the principal minors of only even (or only odd) orders of a Hurwitz matrix.
Suppose one is given a polynomial
![]() | (*) |
let be its Hurwitz matrix (cf. Routh–Hurwitz criterion); let
be its principal minor of order
,
.
The Liénard–Chipart criterion: Any of the following four conditions is necessary and sufficient in order that all roots of a polynomial (*) with real coefficients have negative real parts:
1) ;
2) ;
3) ;
4) .
The criterion was established by A. Liénard and H. Chipart [1].
