Description

This concise and comprehensive treatment of the basic theory of algebraic Riccati equations describes the classical as well as the more advanced algorithms for their solution in a manner that is accessible to both practitioners and scholars. It is the first book in which nonsymmetric algebraic Riccati equations are treated in a clear and systematic way. Some proofs of theoretical results have been simplified and a unified notation has been adopted.

Readers will find

• a unified discussion of doubling algorithms, which are effective in solving algebraic Riccati equations.

• a detailed description of all classical and advanced algorithms for solving algebraic Riccati equations and their MATLAB® codes. This will help the reader gain an understanding of the computational issues and provide ready-to-use implementation of the different solution techniques.

Keywords: algebraic Riccati equations, numerical methods, nonlinear matrix equations, doubling algorithms, quadratic matrix equations

Excerpt

This monograph aims to provide a concise and comprehensive treatment of the basic theory of algebraic Riccati equations and a description of both the classical and the more advanced algorithms for their solution.

Algebraic Riccati equations are a class of matrix equations which model a variety of different real world problems. Their important role in scientific computing and engineering, together with the richness and the beauty of their theoretical and computational properties, has stimulated a strong interest and an intense research activity over the years.
