Static output feedback design and simultaneous stabilization are difficult control tasks for which no general efficient algorithm has been designed so far. In this note we show that, in the special case of scalar plants, the problem of simultaneous stabilization by static output feedback can however be solved in polynomial time using standard tools of numerical algebra.
