Abstract

We study numerical methods for finding the maximal symmetric positive definite solution of the nonlinear matrix equation , where is symmetric positive definite and is nonsingular. Such equations arise for instance in the analysis of stationary Gaussian reciprocal processes over a finite interval. Its unique largest positive definite solution coincides with the unique positive definite solution of a related discrete-time algebraic Riccati equation (DARE). We discuss how to use the butterfly algorithm to solve the DARE. This approach is compared to several fixed-point and doubling-type iterative methods suggested in the literature.
