Abstract

An efficient and numerically stable implementation of a known algorithm is suggested for finding the extremal positive definite solutions of the matrix equation X + A*X-1A = I, if such solutions exist. The convergence rate is analyzed. A new algorithm that avoids matrix inversion is presented. Numerical examples are given to illutrate the effectiveness of the algorithms.
