Our investigations are based on a new recursive formula for the determinant of tridiagonal matrices. Relation of our results to the Stern stability factor has been obtained. A verification in numerical examples has also been provided. %K Linear Multistage Amplifiers %K Instability %K Determinant %K Tridiagonal Matrix %K Stern Stability Factor %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=88401
