Certified non-conservative tests for the structural stability of discrete multidimensional systems

In [18], we present new computer algebra based methods for testing the structural stability of $n$-D discrete linear systems (with $n$ at least 2). More precisely, we show that the standard characterization of the structural stability of a multivariate rational transfer function (namely, the denominator of the transfer function does not have solutions in the unit polydisc of ${ℂ}^n$) is equivalent to the fact that a certain system of polynomials does not have real solutions. We then use state-of-the-art computer algebra algorithms to check this last condition, and thus the structural stability of multidimensional systems.
