Gradient based approach for generalized discrete-time periodic coupled Sylvester matrix equations

Abstract

The paper is dedicated to solving the generalized periodic discrete-time coupled Sylvester matrix equation, which is frequently encountered in control theory and applied mathematics. The solvable condition and a iterative algorithm for this equation are presented. The proposed method is developed from a point of least squares method. The rationality of the method is testified by theoretical analysis, which shows that the algorithm can solve the problem within finite number of iterations. The presented approach is numerically reliable and requires less computation. A numerical example illustrates the effectiveness of the raised result.
