Abstract

In this paper, we present a simplified proof of Kharitonov's Theorem, an important result on determining the Hurwitz stability of interval polynomials. Our new approach to the proof, which is based on the Wronskian of a pair of polynomials, is not only more elementary in comparison to known methods, but is able to handle the degree drop case with ease.
