Hermite Positive Definite Solution of the Quaternion Matrix Equation Xm + B*XB = C

This paper discusses the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Hermite positive definite solutions of the quaternion matrix equation Xm+ B*XB = C (m > 0) and its iterative solution method. According to the characteristics of the coefficient matrix, a corresponding algebraic equation system is ingeniously constructed, and by discussing the equation system’s solvability, the matrix equation’s existence interval is obtained. Based on the characteristics of the coefficient matrix, some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Hermitian positive definite solutions of the matrix equation are derived. Then, the upper and lower bounds of the positive actual solutions are estimated by using matrix inequalities. Four iteration formats are constructed according to the given conditions and existence intervals, and their convergence is proven. The selection method for the initial matrix is also provided. Finally, using the complexification operator of quaternion matrices, an equivalent iteration on the complex field is established to solve the equation in the Matlab environment. Two numerical examples are used to test the effectiveness and feasibility of the given method. .

Based on the fixed-point theory, we study the existence and the uniqueness of the maximal Hermitian positive definite solution of the nonlinear matrix equation X＋A^＊X^-2A=Q, where Q is a square Hermitian positive definite matrix and A＊ is the conjugate transpose of the matrix A. We also demonstrate some essential properties and analyze the sensitivity of this solution. In addition, we derive computable error bounds about the approximations to the maximal Hermitian positive definite solution of the nonlinear matrix equation X＋A^＊X^-2A=Q. At last, we further generalize these results to the nonlinear matrix equation X＋A^＊X^-nA=Q, where n≥2 is a given positive integer.

ON EIGENVALUE BOUNDS AND ITERATION METHODS FOR DISCRETE ALGEBRAIC RICCATI EQUATIONS

We derive new and tight bounds about the eigenvalues and certain sums of the eigenvalues for the unique symmetric positive definite solutions of the discrete algebraic Riccati equations. These bounds considerably improve the existing ones and treat the cases that have been not discussed in the literature. Besides, they also result in completions for the available bounds about the extremal eigenvalues and the traces of the solutions of the discrete algebraic Riccati equations. We study the fixed-point iteration methods for com- puting the symmetric positive definite solutions of the discrete algebraic Riccati equations and establish their general convergence theory. By making use of the Schulz iteration to partially avoid computing the matrix inversions, we present effective variants of the fixed-point iterations, prove their monotone convergence and estimate their asymptotic convergence rates. Numerical results show that the modified fixed-point iteration methods are feasible and effective solvers for computing the symmetric positive definite solutions of the discrete algebraic Riccati equations.
