TLDR
In this paper, the Riccati inequality is reduced to an algebraic Lyapunov inequality with a matrix whose eigenvalues are located at the imaginary axis, and necessary conditions for the solvability of such inequalities are derived.
Abstract
Discusses algebraic tests for the solvability of the indefinite linear matrix inequality (LMI) (A*P+PA+Q/B*P+S* PB+S/R)/spl ges/0 which arises in the general LQ problem and in H/sub /spl infin//-control. The author presents a new geometric algorithm which allows one to directly reduce the LMI to a certain algebraic Riccati inequality (ARI). Under a mild regularity assumption the author describes how to further reduce the Riccati inequality to an indefinite Lyapunov inequality with a matrix whose eigenvalues are located at the imaginary axis. Finally, the author derives new general necessary conditions for the solvability of such Lyapunov inequalities and discusses cases under which these conditions are also sufficient. >

Spectral factorization with imaginary-axis zeros☆

TL;DR: In this paper, the existence and calculation of Hermitian solutions of a linear matrix inequality corresponding to the spectral factorization of a proper rational spectral density was studied, and it was shown explicitly that each such imaginary-axis eigenvalue defines a fixed part of all solutions.

Least squares stationary optimal control and the algebraic Riccati equation

TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal control of linear systems with respect to quadratic performance criteria over an infinite time interval is treated, and the integrand of the performance criterion is allowed to be fully quadratically in the control and the state without necessarily satisfying the definiteness conditions which are usually assumed in the standard regulator problem.
