In this paper, we discuss the robust stability of a class of polynomial families more general than the interval polynomial family and diamond polynomial family. We prove that the Hurwitz stability of some special cases of this class of polynomial families can be determined by checking finite polynomials. We also give an example to illustrate that it is not always possible to determine the Hurwitz stability of all this class of polynomial families by checking finite polynomials.
