A Kharitonov region is a concept in mathematics. It arises in the study of the stability of polynomials. Let D {\displaystyle D} be a simply-connected set in the complex plane and let P {\displaystyle P} be the polynomial family.
D {\displaystyle D} is said to be a Kharitonov region if
V T n ( V S n ) {\displaystyle V_{T}^{n}(V_{S}^{n})}
is a subset of P . {\displaystyle P.} Here, V T n {\displaystyle V_{T}^{n}} denotes the set of all vertex polynomials of complex interval polynomials ( T n ) {\displaystyle (T^{n})} and V S n {\displaystyle V_{S}^{n}} denotes the set of all vertex polynomials of real interval polynomials ( S n ) . {\displaystyle (S^{n}).}
