In this paper, a simple technique is presented for robust stability testing of perturbed DC-DC converters having multi-linear uncertainty structure. This technique provides a necessary and sufficient condition for testing robust stability. It is based on the corollary of Routh criterion and gridding of parameters. The previous work based on parametric control theory using Kharitonov's theorem and Hermite Biehler theorem gives conservative results and only the sufficient condition of stability, whereas the proposed method provides the necessary and sufficient condition for testing robust stability and it is computationally efficient. The superiority of the method is compared with the Edge theorem.

It is a truism that mathematics is about relations (cf. [Halford, G. S. (1999). The properties of representations used in higher cognitive processes: Developmental implications. In: Sigel, I. E. (Ed.), The Development of Mental Representation: Theories and Applications (pp. 147-168). Mahwah, New Jersey: Erlbaum]). In this article we are considering few problems related to the Viviani's and Routh's Theorems. All Problems are connected by the relation which exists between the distances of the point inside the triangle to it sides. We show how reasoning about the relations could lead the student's problem solving process and give easy to understand solutions of the problems. Among the problems being considered are the proof of the Converse to Viviani's Theorem, the formulas for areas of all figures formed by the sides of triangle and its cevians.

The object of present note is to give a very short proof of Stirling's formula which uses only a formula for the generalized zeta function. There are several proofs for this formula. For example, Dr. E. J. Routh gave an elementary proof using Wallis' theorem in lectures at Cambridge ([5, pp.66-68]). We can find another proof which used the Maclaurin summation formula ([5, pp.116-120]). In [1], they used the Central Limit Theorem or the inversion theorem for characteristic functions. In [2], pp. Diaconis and D. Freeman provided another proof similarly as in [1]. J. M. Patin [7] used the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem.
