A note on Hurwitz stability of matrices

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This note proves that every Hurwitz-stable matrix can be expressed as the product of a symmetric positive-definite matrix and a generalised negative-definite matrix. Based on this it is further shown that the entire set of all Hurwitz-stable matrices of order n is the product of two convex open cones and itself forms a simply connected open cone in the parameter space with a vertex at the origin.
