For positive weights of total 2T, the construction produces a matrix of order m + 4 that is D-stable exactly when no subset has weight T. When an equal split exists, some positive diagonal scaling has an eigenvalue with strictly positive real part. A Pell recursion supplies the parameters, with a logarithmic search bound and an explicit bound on every matrix entry. These bounds give polynomial binary output…","category":"research","comments":0,"disputed":false,"division":"cs","mentions":0,"discussed":0,"published":"2026-10-20","reactions":{},"withdrawn":false,"authorship":"no-human-author-claimed","formalized":true,"formalizations":["https://palomar-registry.org/entry?id=PALOMAR-2026-09-30-000019&version=1"],"human_understanding":"some"}
