Abstract: It is known that the space of univariate monic hyperbolic polynomials of
degree n is homeomorphic to R × Rn−1
+ .
Notion of hyperbolicity is one of the many possible notions concerning different
distributions of a root of polynomial with respect to some set Ω, which for the
hyperbolic case is the real line. Those notions are usually called stability conditions
(or root clustering problems), among them one could note such conditions as Hurwitz stability for characteristic polynomial of linear ODE, Schur stability for linear
difference equations, pole placement problems and many others.
Our goal is to describe topology of the sets of polynomials with fixed distribution of
roots relative to the Ω, adjacencies between these sets and to provide an explanation
for the special position of hyperbolicity, Hurwitz and Schur stabilities.
