In the stability analysis of linear systems depending on several parameters, the D-partition
method is often used, also known as the D-decomposition method in the literature. This
method describes the stability region of a characteristic polynomial via the equation
of its boundary. A constructive D-partition method proposed below identifies individual parts of curves and
straight lines on the parameter plane that form the boundaries of the D-partition regions and, in
particular, the stability region. A characteristic polynomial linearly dependent on two parameters
and a stability region with a piecewise rational parametric boundary are considered. In this case,
the boundary of each D-partition region is a finite set of arcs of rational curves and segments,
rays, or straight lines that can be found explicitly. The rational curve arcs are parameterized on
intervals whose limits are found by calculating the real roots of auxiliary polynomials.
A D-partition, bounded (localized) on a compact set, consists of a finite number of segments and arcs
of rational curves parameterized on the segments.
