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.

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.

Numerical Aspects
3 The algorithm requires 0(N ) operations.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].
