Some extensions and modifications of classical stability tests for polynomials

Abstract
Classical inertia theorems for matrices are used to generate results describing inertia characteristics of perturbed self-adjoint matrix polynomials. These are then employed to derive a generalization of the Liénard-Chipart stability criterion to a class of self-adjoint matrix polynomials. As special cases, variants of the classical stability criteria of Liénard-Chipart and of Markov are obtained. Those criteria are extended to give a description of the inertia of any real polynomial.
