Abstract

The Liénard–Chipart criterion for determining whether all the zeros of a real nth degree polynomial a(λ) have negative real parts involves calculation of only about half the Hurwitz determinants, the order of the largest being n − 1. It is shown, by using the companion matrix of a polynomial formed from a(λ), that the required determinants are equal to minors of a matrix whose order is ½ n or ½(n−1) according as n is even or odd. In either case this matrix is very easy to obtain A simple application of the result provides a criterion for a(λ) to be stable and aperiodic.
