Solution of continuous- or discrete-time algebraic Riccati equations (Schur vectors method)

[Specification] [Arguments] [Method] [References] [Comments] [Example]

Purpose

  To solve for X either the continuous-time algebraic Riccati
  equation
                           -1
     Q + A'*X + X*A - X*B*R  B'*X = 0                            (1)

  or the discrete-time algebraic Riccati equation
                                     -1
     X = A'*X*A - A'*X*B*(R + B'*X*B)  B'*X*A + Q                (2)

  where A, B, Q and R are N-by-N, N-by-M, N-by-N and M-by-M matrices
  respectively, with Q symmetric and R symmetric nonsingular; X is
  an N-by-N symmetric matrix.
                    -1
  The matrix G = B*R  B' must be provided on input, instead of B and
  R, that is, for instance, the continuous-time equation

     Q + A'*X + X*A - X*G*X = 0                                  (3)

  is solved, where G is an N-by-N symmetric matrix. SLICOT Library
  routine SB02MT should be used to compute G, given B and R. SB02MT
  also enables to solve Riccati equations corresponding to optimal
  problems with coupling terms.

  The routine also returns the computed values of the closed-loop
  spectrum of the optimal system, i.e., the stable eigenvalues
  lambda(1),...,lambda(N) of the corresponding Hamiltonian or
  symplectic matrix associated to the optimal problem.

                value;
          = 1:  if matrix A is (numerically) singular in discrete-
                time case;
          = 2:  if the Hamiltonian or symplectic matrix H cannot be
                reduced to real Schur form;
          = 3:  if the real Schur form of the Hamiltonian or
                symplectic matrix H cannot be appropriately ordered;
          = 4:  if the Hamiltonian or symplectic matrix H has less
                than N stable eigenvalues;
          = 5:  if the N-th order system of linear algebraic
                equations, from which the solution matrix X would
                be obtained, is singular to working precision.

Method
  The method used is the Schur vector approach proposed by Laub.
  It is assumed that [A,B] is a stabilizable pair (where for (3) B
  is any matrix such that B*B' = G with rank(B) = rank(G)), and
  [E,A] is a detectable pair, where E is any matrix such that
  E*E' = Q with rank(E) = rank(Q). Under these assumptions, any of
  the algebraic Riccati equations (1)-(3) is known to have a unique
  non-negative definite solution. See [2].
  Now consider the 2N-by-2N Hamiltonian or symplectic matrix

              ( A   -G )
         H =  (        ),                                    (4)
              (-Q   -A'),

  for continuous-time equation, and
                 -1        -1
              ( A         A  *G   )
         H =  (   -1          -1  ),                         (5)
              (Q*A    A' + Q*A  *G)
                                                         -1
  for discrete-time equation, respectively, where G = B*R  *B'.
  The assumptions guarantee that H in (4) has no pure imaginary
  eigenvalues, and H in (5) has no eigenvalues on the unit circle.
  If Y is an N-by-N matrix then there exists an orthogonal matrix U
  such that U'*Y*U is an upper quasi-triangular matrix. Moreover, U
  can be chosen so that the 2-by-2 and 1-by-1 diagonal blocks
  (corresponding to the complex conjugate eigenvalues and real
  eigenvalues respectively) appear in any desired order. This is the
  ordered real Schur form. Thus, we can find an orthogonal
  similarity transformation U which puts (4) or (5) in ordered real
  Schur form

         U'*H*U = S = (S(1,1)  S(1,2))
                      (  0     S(2,2))

  where S(i,j) is an N-by-N matrix and the eigenvalues of S(1,1)
  have negative real parts in case of (4), or moduli greater than
  one in case of (5). If U is conformably partitioned into four
  N-by-N blocks

            U = (U(1,1)  U(1,2))
                (U(2,1)  U(2,2))

  with respect to the assumptions we then have
  (a) U(1,1) is invertible and X = U(2,1)*inv(U(1,1)) solves (1),
      (2), or (3) with X = X' and non-negative definite;
  (b) the eigenvalues of S(1,1) (if DICO = 'C') or S(2,2) (if
      DICO = 'D') are equal to the eigenvalues of optimal system
      (the 'closed-loop' spectrum).

  [A,B] is stabilizable if there exists a matrix F such that (A-BF)
  is stable. [E,A] is detectable if [A',E'] is stabilizable.

Further Comments
  To obtain a stabilizing solution of the algebraic Riccati
  equation for DICO = 'D', set SORT = 'U', if HINV = 'D', or set
  SORT = 'S', if HINV = 'I'.

  The routine can also compute the anti-stabilizing solutions of
  the algebraic Riccati equations, by specifying
      SORT = 'U' if DICO = 'D' and HINV = 'I', or DICO = 'C', or
      SORT = 'S' if DICO = 'D' and HINV = 'D'.

  Usually, the combinations HINV = 'D' and SORT = 'U', or HINV = 'I'
  and SORT = 'U', will be faster then the other combinations [3].
