Kharitonov region

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Kharitonov region is a concept in mathematics. It arises in the study of the stability of polynomials.

Let D be a simply-connected set in the complex plane and let P be the polynomial family.

D is said to be a Kharitonov region if

V_T^n(V_S^n)

is a subset of P. Here, V_T^n denotes the set of all vertex polynomials of complex interval polynomials (Tn) and V_S^n denotes the set of all vertex polynomials of real interval polynomials (Sn).

See also Kharitonov's theorem.
