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:

“The North American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality. Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation; certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the press, the radio, the churches, and the schools, and by those kindly, sinister beings, the North American mothers and wives. A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)

“There’s one solution that ends all life’s problems.”
—Chinese proverb.
