Simple necessary conditions for Hadamard factorizability of Hurwitz polynomials

Abstract

In this paper, we focus the attention on the Hadamard factorization problem for Hurwitz polynomials. We give a new necessary condition for Hadamard factorizability of Hurwitz stable polynomials of degree $n\geq 4$ and show that for $n= 4$ this condition is also sufficient. The effectiveness of the result is illustrated during construction of examples of stable polynomials that are not Hadamard factorizable.
