  • Abstract
    Let the real polynomial (a(s) = a_{0} + a_{1}s + ... + a_{n}s^{n} with the coefficients being known differentiable functions a_{k}(x) be given and let the constraints g_{i}(x) > 0 determine the strictly Hurwitz property of the polynomial a(s) . A simple and efficient method to calculate the derivatives \\partial g_{i}(x)/\\partial x_{j} is proposed. Then, the application of the method to the problem of stability of polynomials under coefficient perturbation by gradient optimization is discussed. Also, a theorem characterizing the stability region and the newly introduced regions of nondestabilizing perturbations is given.
