In this paper the robust positivity of polynomials under coefficient perturbation is investigated. This robust positivity of polynomials can be used for polynomial systems in order to determine the robust asymptotic stability of the system. It is assumed that the polynomials under investigation depend linearly on some parameters. The aim in the article is to determine the parameter perturbation region as a hypersphere, for which the polynomial is globally positive. The theorem of Ehlich and Zeller is used to achieve this aim. This theorem enables to give conditions in the parameter space for global positivity. These conditions are linear inequalities. By means of these inequalities an inner and an outer approximation are calculated to the relevant perturbation region which is a hypersphere. Two nontrivial examples conclude the paper and show the effectiveness of the presented method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
