Abstract

In this study, the problem of robust asymptotic stability of n x n, polynomial matrix family, in both continuous-time and discrete-time cases, is considered. It is shown that in the continuous case the problem can be reduced to positivity of two specially constructed multivariable polynomials, whereas in the discrete-time case it is required three polynomials. Number of examples are given, where the Bernstein expansion method and sufficient conditions from [L.H. Keel and S.P. Bhattacharya. Robust stability via sign-definite decomposition. IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 56(1):140-145, 2011.] are applied to test positivity of the obtained multivariable polynomials. Sufficient conditions for matrix polytopes and one interesting negative result for companion matrices are also considered.
