A modification of the Routh–Hurwitz criterion, which reduces all calculations in it to the calculation of the principal minors of only even (or only odd) orders of a Hurwitz matrix.

Suppose one is given a polynomial

$$f(x)=a_0x^n+a_1x^{n-1}+\ldots+a_n,\quad a_0>0;\tag{*}$$

let $H$ be its Hurwitz matrix (cf. Routh–Hurwitz criterion); let $\Delta_i$ be its principal minor of order $i$, $i=1,\dots,n$.

The Liénard–Chipart criterion: Any of the following four conditions is necessary and sufficient in order that all roots of a polynomial \ref{*} with real coefficients have negative real parts:

1) $a_n>0,a_{n-2}>0,\dots,\Delta_1>0,\Delta_3>0,\dots$;

2) $a_n>0,a_{n-2}>0,\dots,\Delta_2>0,\Delta_4>0,\dots$;

3) $a_n>0,a_{n-1}>0,a_{n-3}>0,\dots,\Delta_1>0,\Delta_3>0,\dots$;

4) $a_n>0,a_{n-1}>0,a_{n-3}>0,\dots,\Delta_2>0,\Delta_1>0,\dots$.

The criterion was established by A. Liénard and H. Chipart [1].
