Abstract

The Lyapunov equation and the algebraic Riccati equation are treated in depth. The Lyapunov equation arises as the equation for the asymptotic covariance matrix of the state of a stationary Gaussian system. The algebraic Riccati equation arises in the Kalman filter, in stochastic control, and in stochastic realization of a Gaussian system. Results for both equations are provided on: the existence of a solution, uniqueness with respect to conditions, a description of the set of all solutions if applicable, particular properties of solutions, and on the computation of solutions.
