A demonstrative example shows the effect of the proposed approach.

The Reflexive Solutions of the Matrix Equations (AX,XB^H )= (C,D^H )

The matrix equations (AX, XBH)=(C, DH) have been widely used in structural design, parameter identification, linear optimal control, and so on. But few researches studied the reflexive solutions. A new approach for the reflexive solutions to the matrix equations was proposed. By applying the canonical correlation decomposition (CCD) of matrix pairs, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and the general expression for the reflexive solutions of the matrix equations (AX, XBH)=(C, DH) were established. In addition, by using the methods of space decomposition, the expression of the optimal approximation solution to a given matrix was derived.

SOME FURTHER NOTES ON THE MATRIX EQUATIONS A^TXB+B^TX^TA=C AND A^TXB+B^TXA=C

Dehghan and Hajarian, [4], investigated the matrix equations A^TXB＋B^TX^TA = C and A^TXB ＋ B^TXA = C providing inequalities for the determinant of the solutions of these equations.

Inspired by their work, we give some generalizations of Dehghan and Hajarian results. Using the theory of the numerical ranges, we present an inequality involving the trace of C when A, B, X are normal matrices satisfying A^T B = BA^T.

Dykstra’s Algorithm for the Optimal Approximate Symmetric Positive Semidefinite Solution of a Class of Matrix Equations

Dykstra’s alternating projection algorithm was proposed to treat the problem of finding the projection of a given point onto the intersection of some closed convex sets. In this paper, we first apply Dykstra’s alternating projection algorithm to compute the optimal approximate symmetric positive semidefinite solution of the matrix equations AXB = E, CXD = F. If we choose the initial iterative matrix X0 = 0, the least Frobenius norm symmetric positive semidefinite solution of these matrix equations is obtained. A numerical example shows that the new algorithm is feasible and effective.

A Minimum Residual Based Gradient Iterative Method for a Class of Matrix Equations

In this paper, we present a minimum residual based gradient iterative method for solving a class of matrix equations including Sylvester matrix equations and general coupled matrix equations. The iterative method uses a negative gradient as steepest direction and seeks for an optimal step size to minimize the residual norm of next iterate. It is shown that the iterative sequence converges unconditionally to the exact solution for any initial guess and that the norm of the residual matrix and error matrix decrease monotonically. Numerical tests are presented to show the efficiency of the proposed method and confirm the theoretical results.

Matrix Riccati Equations in Optimal Control

In this paper, the matrix Riccati equation is considered. There is no general way for solving the matrix Riccati equation despite the many fields to which it applies. While scalar Riccati equation has been studied thoroughly, matrix Riccati equation of which scalar Riccati equations is a particular case, is much less investigated. This article proposes a change of variable that allows to find explicit solution of the Matrix Riccati equation. We then apply this solution to Optimal Control.
