A class of new observers in descriptor linear systems, proportional-derivative (PD) observers, are proposed. A parametric design approach for such observers is proposed based on a complete parametric solution to the generalized Sylvester matrix equation. The approach provides complete parameterizations for all the observer gains, gives the parametric expression for the corresponding left eigenv...

We consider numerical computation of Taylor expansions of invariant manifolds around equilibria of maps and flows. These are obtained by writing the corresponding functional equation in a number of points, setting up a nonlinear system of equations and solving that using a simplified Newton’s method. This approach will avoid symbolic or explicit numerical differentiation. The linear algebra iss...

We discuss parallel algorithms for solving eight common standard and generalized triangular Sylvester-type matrix equation. Our parallel algorithms are based on explicit blocking, 2D block-cyclic data distribution of the matrices and wavefront-like traversal of the right hand side matrices while solving small-sized matrix equations at different nodes and updating the rest of the right hand side...

We consider the uniqueness of solution (nonsingularity) of systems of r generalized Sylvester and ⋆-Sylvester equations with n × n coefficient matrices. After several reductions, we show that it is sufficient to analyze periodic systems having, at most, one generalized ⋆-Sylvester equation. We provide characterizations for the nonsingularity in terms of spectral properties of either matrix penc...

In this paper, the matrix equation AX + XB = C is considered, where the matrices A and B have sizes m × n and n × m, respectively, the size of the unknown X is n × m, and the operator (·) denotes either the transpose or the conjugate transpose of a matrix. In the first part of the paper, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of solutions are reviewed. These condit...

The dynamics of the Reynolds stress tensor is given by an evolution equation coupling geometrical effects and turbulent source terms. The effects of the mean flow geometry are shown up when the source terms are neglected. In this case, the Reynolds stress tensor is expressed as the sum of three tensor products of vector fields only associated with the mean flow. The vector fields are governed b...

The solution of large scale Sylvester matrix equation plays an important role in control and large scientific computations. A popular approach is to use the global GMRES algorithm. In this work, we first consider the global GMRES algorithm with weighting strategy, and propose some new schemes based on residual to update the weighting matrix. Due to the growth of memory requirements and computat...

The paper is to reveal the direct links between well known Sylvester equation in matrix theory and some integrable systems. Using $\boldsymbol{K} \boldsymbol{M}+\boldsymbol{M} \boldsymbol{K}=\boldsymbol{r}\, \boldsymbol{s}^{T}$ we introduce a scalar function $S^{(i,j)}=\boldsymbol{s}^{T}\, \boldsymbol{K}^j(\boldsymbol{I}+\boldsymbol{M})^{-1}\boldsymbol{K}^i\boldsymbol{r}$ which defined as same ...

We present new iterative methods based on refinement process for solving large sparse Sylvesterobserver equations applied in state estimation of a continuous-time system. These methods use projection methods to produce low-dimensional Sylvester-observer matrix equations that are solved by the direct methods. Moreover, the refinement process described in this paper has the capability of improvin...
