function R = myRouth(b)
%% ROUTH-HURWITZ Array
%
% Examples:
%
% 1. P = s^4 + 10*s^3 + 35*s^2 + 50*s + 24 ;
%    R = myRouth( [1 10 35 50 24] )
%
% 2. syms a b c d s , P = s^4 + a*s^3 + b*s^2 + c*s + d ;
%    R = myRouth( [1 a b c d] )
%
% 3. syms K , P = s^2 + (12-3*K)*s + 20+0.25*K ;
%    R = myRouth( [1 12-3*K 20+0.25*K] )

%% Polynomial coefficients as input

end

%% Flip vector in left/right direction and find order of polynomial
b = b(find(b~=0,1):end);
b = fliplr(b) ;
ord = size(b,2)-1 ;

% It gives the index number of R11's row
% ord = 6,7 --> rou_i = 7
rou_i = fix( fix(ord/2)*2 ) + 1 ;
rou_j = ceil((ord+1)/2) ;             % Round infinity

%% If order is even add one zero as a last element of matrix
Ri = [ b(ord+1:-2:1) ;
       b(ord:-2:1)  zeros( fix(( rou_i-1 )/ord) ) ] ;

R = sym( zeros(ord+1,rou_j) );  
R(ord+1:-1:ord, : ) = Ri ;

%% All R's for Routh-Hurwitz [Main Algorithm]
syms epsilon real
for n = ord-1:-1:2
    for j = 1:round(n/2)
        if R(n+1)==0, R(n+1) = epsilon; end
        R(n,j) = ( R(n+1,1)*R(n+2,j+1)-R(n+1,j+1)*R(n+2,1) )/R(n+1) ;

%% Simplify and Flip matrix in up/down direction.
R = limit(R, epsilon, 0, 'right');
R = simplify(R) ; R = flipud(R) ;
