Routh-Hurwitz Stability Criterion

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Well, if you drop out of you programming course, it’ll give you more time to focus on boring philology and wrong nutrition.

Well, when studying names of places in Croatia, I really feel like I am discovering something important. Especially since I think I have discovered how to estimate p-values of the patterns in the names of places, using the collision entropy and birthday calculations.

I'm sure you feel that you're doing something important. What I said was that it's 'boring'.

Try T0T0 instead.

It's in Kansas.

Or Africa.

Just watch out for the rains.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. If that's supposed to be a joke, the question I asked in the OP is a serious question, so I expect serious responses.

We are not a coding forum.  Find one of those.

The tech and accounting subforum is to ask much more basic questions.  

This has been explained to you before.

Seriously, you look more and more like a troll every day.

I don't see a serious tag.

Well, what I am doing is probably less boring than mainstream linguistics is. Attempting to apply information theory to the names of places is probably less boring than applying the mainstream methodology.

@bennyboy Do you happen to be familiar with the Routh-Hurwitz Stability Criterion? If so, I have two questions about it:
1) How could a computer implement the special cases of it, when there is a zero in the first column of the matrix? I've implemented the general part of the Hurwitz Criterion in AEC, but I have no idea which method might a computer use to deal with the special cases. Does a computer use limits or does it move to the z-domain? Either way, how?
2) How could we possibly use the Hurwitz Criterion to calculate the range of gain for which a system is stable? The preparation for a laboratory exercise in cybernetics (which I failed a few years ago, so I am attending it again in about a month) is asking us to calculate that range using both the Hurwitz Criterion and the Bode Criterion and to compare the results. But Hurwitz Criterion gives us no ranges, it gives us the number of poles on the right-hand-side of the complex plane (where the real part is positive).

All hobbies are boring to people who don’t share that interest.

Then I guess you can understand why I find the university computer science curriculum bloody boring.

And yet you signed up for it (voluntarily, I assume). That’s a puzzlement.

Well, on the mathematics part of the maturity test, it happened that there were exactly the tasks that I knew how to solve, so I scored 93%. And I also solved the informatics part of the maturity test more than 90% (if I remember correctly, 97%). That gave me confidence to sign up for a university course full of mathematics and informatics, thinking it will go well. As we now know, I was wrong.
