SLICOT Working Note 1999-14: December 1999.

A collection of benchmark examples is presented for the numerical solution of continuous-time algebraic Riccati equations. This collection may serve for testing purposes in the construction of new numerical methods, but may also be used as a reference set for the comparison of methods. The collected examples focus mainly on applications in linear-quadratic optimal control theory. This version updates an earlier benchmark collection and includes one new example.
