Positive definiteness and stability of parametric interval matrices

Abstract

We investigate positive definiteness, Hurwitz stability and Schur stability of parametric interval matrices. We give a verifiable sufficient condition for positive definiteness of parametric interval matrices with non-linear dependencies. We also give several sufficient and necessary conditions for stability of symmetric parametric interval matrices with affine-linear dependencies. The presented results extend the results on positive definiteness and stability of interval matrices. In addition, we provide a formula for the radius of stability of symmetric parametric interval matrices.
