Is this a Hurwitz matrix?

327 Views Asked by At

I have the following block matrix

$$J = \begin{bmatrix}A & B \\ C &D\end{bmatrix}$$

where $A, B, C, D$ are $2 \times 2$ matrices and

1.$A$ is Hurwitz and $a_{ii} < 0$

  1. $B = \operatorname{diag}(b_1, b_2)$ with $b_i < 0$.

  2. $C = \operatorname{diag}(c_1, c_2)$ with $c_i> 0$.

  3. $D = \operatorname{diag}(d_1,d_2)$ with $d_i < 0$.

Is there some necessary and/or sufficient condition on $B, C, D$ for J to be Hurwitz?
