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:

“It is always a sign of an unproductive time when it concerns itself with petty and technical aspects [in philology], and likewise it is a sign of an unproductive person to pursue such trifles.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

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