Abstract
The project aims to develop a
program that takes a transfer
function of a control system
as input , analyses it and
reports whether the System is
Stable, unstable or marginally
stable.
 Introduction
 In control system theory, the Routh–Hurwitz stability criterion is a
mathematical test that is a necessary and sufficient condition for the stability
of a linear time invariant (LTI) dynamical system or control system .

 A stable system is one whose output signal is bounded; the position, velocity or
energy do not increase to infinity as time goes on.

 The Routh test is an efficient recursive algorithm that English mathematician

Edward John Routh proposed in 1876 to determine whether all the roots of the
characteristic polynomial of a linear system have negative real parts.
Introduction
Conditions for stability of a system
 Stable System: If all the roots of the characteristic equation lie on the left half of the 'S' plane then the
system is said to be a stable system.

 Marginally Stable System: If all the roots of the system lie on the imaginary axis of the 'S' plane then the
system is said to be marginally stable.

 Unstable System: If all the roots of the system lie on the right half of the 'S' plane then the system is said
to be an unstable system.
Introduction
What is Routh–Hurwitz stability criterion

Routh Hurwitz criterion states that any system can be stable if and
only if all the roots of the first column have the same sign and if it
does not has the same sign or there is a sign change then the
number of sign changes in the first column is equal to the number
of roots of the characteristic equation in the right half of the s-
plane i.e. equals to the number of roots with positive real parts.
Objective
To implement Routh Hurwitz stability criterion
for Stability Analysis of a system
Using MATLAB.
 To determine whether the given system is
stable unstable or marginally stable.
Flowchart
Advantages of Routh- Hurwitz Criterion
1.We can find the stability of the system without solving the equation.

2.We can easily determine the relative stability of the system.

3.By this method, we can determine the range of K for stability.

4.By this method, we can also determine the point of intersection for root
locus with an imaginary axis.
Limitations of Routh- Hurwitz Criterion

1.this criterion is applicable only for a linear system.

2.It does not provide the exact location of poles on the right and
left half of the S plane.

3.In case of the characteristic equation, it is valid only for real

coefficients.
Applications
Routh Hurwitz criterion provides a way to detect the
system's absolute stability.

By transforming. the boundary of the complex s-

plane, the Routh-Hurwitz criterion can also be used to
detect the existence of natural frequencies of a system
in a specified region.
