All roots of a polynomial

$$P(z)=z^n+a_{n-1}z^{n-1}+\ldots+a_0$$

with real coefficients have strictly negative real part if and only if the complex-valued function $z=P(i\omega)$ of a real variable $\omega\in[0,\infty)$ describes a curve (the Mikhailov hodograph) in the complex $z$-plane which starts on the positive real semi-axis, does not hit the origin and successively generates an anti-clockwise motion through $n$ quadrants. (An equivalent condition is: The radius vector $P(i\omega)$, as $\omega$ increases from $0$ to $+\infty$, never vanishes and monotonically rotates in a positive direction through an angle $n\pi/2$.)

This criterion was first suggested by A.V. Mikhailov [1]. It is equivalent to the Routh–Hurwitz criterion; however, it is geometric in character and does not require the verification of determinant inequalities (see [2], [3]). The Mikhailov criterion gives a necessary and sufficient condition for the asymptotic stability of a linear differential equation of order ,

with constant coefficients, or of a linear system

with a constant matrix , the characteristic polynomial of which is (see [4]).

Mikhailov's criterion is one of the frequency criteria for the stability of linear systems of automatic control (closely related to, for example, the Nyquist criterion). A generalization of Mikhailov's criterion is known for systems of automatic control with delay, for impulse systems (see [5]), and there is also an analogue of Mikhailov's criterion for non-linear control systems (see [6]).

Comments

Recently a generalization of stability criteria with respect to roots of polynomials has been found. It is named after V.L. Kharitonov [a1]. The generalization is that the coefficients in the polynomial take values in given intervals , . The problem addressed by Kharitonov is whether all polynomials with are strictly stable. It turns out that the stability of only four specific polynomials has to be investigated in order to answer this question.
