An efficient iteration for the extremal solutions of discrete-time algebraic Riccati equations

Abstract

Algebraic Riccati equations (AREs) have been extensively applicable in linear optimal control problems and many efficient numerical methods were developed. The most attention of numerical solutions is the (almost) stabilizing solution in the past works. Nevertheless, it is an interesting and challenging issue in finding the extremal solutions of AREs which play a vital role in the applications. In this paper, based on the semigroup property, an accelerated fixed-point iteration (AFPI) is developed for solving the extremal solutions of the discrete-time algebraic Riccati equation. In addition, we prove that the convergence of the AFPI is at least R-suplinear with order r > 1 under some mild assumptions. Numerical examples are shown to illustrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
