  ABSTRACT: In this paper we introduce a numerically stable method for determining the stability of n-DOF system without computing eigenvalues. In this sense, at first we reduce the second-order system to a standard eigenvalue problem with symmetric tridiagonal form. Then we compute the exact inertia by using an algorithm based on floating point arithmetic [1]. Numerical tests report the effectiveness of these methods.
