Abstract
A defect correction formula for quadratic matrix equations of the kind is presented. This formula, expressed by means of an invariant subspace of a suitable pencil, allows us to introduce a modification of the Structure-preserving Doubling Algorithm (SDA), that enables refining an initial approximation to the sought solution. This modification provides substantial advantages, in terms of convergence acceleration, in the solution of equations coming from stochastic models, by choosing a stochastic matrix as the initial approximation. An application to solving random walks in the quarter plane is shown, where the coefficients are quasi-Toeplitz matrices of infinite size.
