On Bézoutians, Van der Monde matrices, and the Lienard-Chipart stability criterion. (English) Zbl 0677.15011

First it is shown how congruence by Van der Monde matrices reduces the Bézoutian to diagonal form. Then for a polynomial \(q(z)=z^ n+q_{n- 1}z^{n-1}+...+q_ 0\) with \(q_+(z)=\sum q_{2j}z^ j,\quad q_- (z)=\sum q_{2j+1}z^ j\) the following remarkable result is proved: q(z) is a Hurwitz polynomial if and only if the Bézoutian \(B(q_+,q_-)\) is positive definite and all \(q_ i\) are positive.
