dlyap

Solve discrete-time Lyapunov equations

Syntax

X = dlyap(A,Q)
X = dlyap(A,B,C)
X = dlyap(A,Q,[],E)

Description

X = dlyap(A,Q) solves the discrete-time Lyapunov equation AXAT − X + Q = 0,

where A and Q are n-by-n matrices.

The solution X is symmetric when Q is symmetric, and positive definite when Q is positive definite and A has all its eigenvalues inside the unit disk.

X = dlyap(A,B,C) solves the Sylvester equation AXB – X + C = 0,

where A, B, and C must have compatible dimensions but need not be square.

X = dlyap(A,Q,[],E) solves the generalized discrete-time Lyapunov equation AXAT – EXET + Q = 0,

where Q is a symmetric matrix. The empty square brackets, [], are mandatory. If you place any values inside them, the function will error out.

Diagnostics

The discrete-time Lyapunov equation has a (unique) solution if the eigenvalues α1, α2, …, αN of A satisfy αiαj ≠ 1 for all (i, j).

If this condition is violated, dlyap produces the error message

Solution does not exist or is not unique.

Algorithms

dlyap uses SLICOT routines SB03MD and SG03AD for Lyapunov equations and SB04QD (SLICOT) for Sylvester equations.
