Chapter Outcomes
• Understand the concept of stability of dynamic systems.
• Be aware of the key concepts of absolute and relative stability.
• Be familiar with the notion of bounded-input, bounded-output
stability.
• Understand the relationship of the s-plane pole locations (for transfer
function models) and of the eigenvalue locations (for state variable
models) to system stability.
• Know how to construct a Routh array and be able to employ the
Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion to determine stability.
Concept of Stability of Dynamic Systems
• A stable system is defined as a system with a bounded (limited) system response.
That is, if the system is subjected to a bounded input or disturbance and the
response is bounded in magnitude, the system is said to be stable.
• A necessary and sufficient condition for a feedback system to be stable is that all
the poles of the system transfer function have negative real parts
• If the characteristic equation has simple roots on the imaginary axis jw-axis with
all other roots in the left half-plane, the steady-state output will be sustained
oscillations for a bounded input, unless the input is a sinusoid (which is bounded)
whose frequency is equal to the magnitude of the jw-axis roots. For this case, the
output becomes unbounded. Such a system is called marginally stable

ROUTH-HURWITZ STABILITY CRITERION
• All the coefficients of the polynomial must have the same sign if all the roots are in the
left-hand plane.
(no sign change)
• It is necessary that all the coefficients for a stable system be nonzero.
(no missed terms)
The Routh-Hurwitz criterion states that the number of roots of q(s) with positive real parts is
equal to the number of changes in sign of the first column of the Routh array

2. There is a zero in the first column, but some other elements of the
row containing the zero in the first column are nonzero.

3. There is a zero in the first column, and the other elements of the row
containing the zero are also zero.
