Abstract

In this paper, a homotopy continuation method for obtaining the unique Hermitian positive definite solution of the nonlinear matrix equation $X-\sum_{i=1}^{m}A_{i}^*X^{-p_{i}}A_{i}=I$ with $p_{i}> 1$ is proposed, which does not depend on a good initial approximation to the solution of matrix equation.

Keywords: nonlinear matrix equation, Hermitian positive definite solution, homotopy continuation method, Kronecker product
