Lyapunov Equation - Computational Aspects of Solution

Computational Aspects of Solution

The discrete Lyapunov equations can, by using Schur complements, be written as

$\begin{bmatrix} X^{-1} & A \\ A^H & X-Q \end{bmatrix}=0$

or equivalently as

$\begin{bmatrix} X & XA \\ A^HX & X-Q \end{bmatrix}=0$ .

Specialized software is available for solving Lyapunov equations. For the discrete case, the Schur method of Kitagawa (1977) is often used. For the continuous Lyapunov equation the method of Bartels and Stewart (1972) can be used.

Famous quotes containing the words aspects and/or solution:

“Grammar is a tricky, inconsistent thing. Being the backbone of speech and writing, it should, we think, be eminently logical, make perfect sense, like the human skeleton. But, of course, the skeleton is arbitrary, too. Why twelve pairs of ribs rather than eleven or thirteen? Why thirty-two teeth? It has something to do with evolution and functionalism—but only sometimes, not always. So there are aspects of grammar that make good, logical sense, and others that do not.”
—John Simon (b. 1925)

“The truth of the thoughts that are here set forth seems to me unassailable and definitive. I therefore believe myself to have found, on all essential points, the final solution of the problems. And if I am not mistaken in this belief, then the second thing in which the value of this work consists is that it shows how little is achieved when these problems are solved.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
