Abstract

For two polynomials of degrees nn and mm (nmn\geq m) f(s)=a0+a1s++an1sn1+ansn f\left( s\right) =a_{0}+a_{1}s+\ldots+a_{n-1}s^{n-1}+a_{n}s^{n} and g(s)=b0+b1s++bm1sm1+bmsmg\left( s\right) =b_{0}+b_{1}s+\ldots+b_{m-1}s^{m-1}+b_{m}s^{m} we define a set of polynomials fg={F0,,Fnm}f\bullet g =\left\{ F_{0},\ldots,F_{n-m}\right\} , where Fj(s)=ajb0+aj+1b1s++aj+mbmsm, F_{j}\left( s\right) =a_{j}b_{0}+a_{j+1}b_{1}s+\ldots+a_{j+m}b_{m}s^{m}, for j=0,,nmj=0,\ldots,n-m, and call it \textit{a generalized Hadamard product of ff and gg}. We give sufficient conditions for the Hurwitz stability of fgf\bullet g. The obtained results show that the famous Garloff--Wagner theorem on the Hurwitz stability of the Hadamard product of polynomials is a special case of a more general fact. We also show that for every polynomial with positive coefficients (even not necessarily stable) one can find a polynomial such that their generalized Hadamard product is stable. Some connections with polynomials admitting the Hadamard factorization are also given. Numerical examples complete and illustrate the considerations.
