    The document describes a tabular method for determining the stability of higher order characteristic polynomials that are difficult to obtain the roots of. The table has n+1 rows with a specific structure, where the elements are computed from the characteristic polynomial. The number of sign changes in the first column of the table will indicate the number of non-negative poles, and thus whether the system is stable or unstable. An example applying this method to a 3rd order polynomial shows two sign changes, indicating two non-negative roots and an unstable system.

    The MATLAB script [1] can be used to determine the stability of any nth-degree characteristic equation.

    A tabular method can be used to determine the stability when the roots of a higher order characteristic
    polynomial are difficult to obtain. For an nth-degree polynomial

    y|

    the table has n + 1 rows and the following structure:

    an an ƶ 2 an ƶ 4
    an ƶ 1 an ƶ 3 an ƶ 5
    b1 b2 b3
    c1 c2 c3

    where the elements bi and ci can be computed as follows:

    y|

    y|

    When completed, the number of sign changes in the first column will be the number of non-negative
    poles.

    Consider a system with a characteristic polynomial

    y|

    We have the following table:

    1 2 3 0
    4 5 6 0
    0.75 1.5 0 0
    ƶ3 6 0
    3 0
    6 0

    In the first column, there are two sign changes (0.75 - ƶ3, and ƶ3 - 3), thus there are two non-
    negative roots where the system is unstable.
