5. Routh’s Criterion

Given the characteristic equation of an nth-order system


s n + a1sn−1 + a2sn−2 +K + an−1s+ an = 0

A necessary (but not sufficient) condition for stability is that all the coefficients of the
characteristic polynomial be positive.

A system is stable if and only if all the elements in the first column of the Routh array are
positive.

A system H (s) = is to be controlled with a “proportional-plus-integral” PI
(s+1)(s+ 2)

controller C(s) = P +
s

Sketch the range of stability of the closed loop system on a plot of P versus I.
