            Abstract : 
This note summarizes some existing stability and instability conditions of the second-order matrix polynomial which arises in the formulation of classical mechanics, aerodynamics, and robotic systems. Also, some sufficient conditions for stability or instability of the second-order matrix polynomial are newly developed via the relevant linear matrix equation obtained from the Lyapunov theory.
