Root-Clustering Criteria (I): The Composite-Matrix Approach
Department of Mechanical Engineering, Techion Israel Institute of Technology Haifa, Israel
In a series of articles we investigate different approaches to root clustering criteria. In particular, given A
Cnxn and an algebraic region A
C, we are looking for a criterion (a single set of inequalities) ensuring the inclusion
(A)
A. Here, in the first article, we collect previous ideas on transformable regions and composite matrices, state new results, and correct and refine others.
