PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to find two iterative methods to solve the general coupled matrix equations over the generalized centro‐symmetric and central antisymmetric matrices.Design/methodology/approachBy extending the idea of conjugate gradient (CG) method, the authors present two iterative methods to solve the general coupled matrix equations over the generalized centro‐symmetric and central antisymmetric matrices.FindingsWhen the general coupled matrix equations are consistent over the generalized centro‐symmetric and central anti‐symmetric matrices, the generalized centro‐symmetric and central anti‐symmetric solutions can be obtained within nite iterative steps. Also the least Frobenius norm generalized centrosymmetric and central anti‐symmetric solutions can be derived by choosing a special kind of initial matrices. Furthermore, the optimal approximation generalized centrosymmetric and central anti‐symmetric solutions to given generalized centro‐symmetric and central anti‐symmetric matrices can be obtained by finding the least Frobenius norm generalized centro‐symmetric and central anti‐symmetric solutions of new matrix equations. The authors employ some numerical examples to support the theoretical results of this paper. Finally, the application of the presented methods is highlighted for solving the projected generalized continuous‐time algebraic Lyapunov equations (GCALE).Originality/valueBy the algorithms, the solvability of the general coupled matrix equations over generalized centro‐symmetric and central anti‐symmetric matrices can be determined automatically. The convergence results of the iterative algorithms are also proposed. Several examples and an application are given to show the efficiency of the presented methods.

The general coupled matrix equations (including the generalized coupled Sylvester matrix equations as special cases) have numerous applications in control and system theory. In this paper, an iterative algorithm is constructed to solve the general coupled matrix equations over reflexive matrix solution. When the general coupled matrix equations are consistent over reflexive matrices, the reflexive solution can be determined automatically by the iterative algorithm within finite iterative steps in the absence of round-off errors. The least Frobenius norm reflexive solution of the general coupled matrix equations can be derived when an appropriate initial matrix is chosen. Furthermore, the unique optimal approximation reflexive solution to a given matrix group in Frobenius norm can be derived by finding the least-norm reflexive solution of the corresponding general coupled matrix equations. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed iterative algorithm.

By extending the idea of LSMR method, we present an iterative method to solve the general coupled matrix equations∑k=1qAikXkBik=Ci,i=1,2,…,p, (including the generalized (coupled) Lyapunov and Sylvester matrix equations as special cases) over some constrained matrix groups(X1,X2,…,Xq), such as symmetric, generalized bisymmetric, and(R,S)-symmetric matrix groups. By this iterative method, for any initial matrix group(X1(0),X2(0),…,Xq(0)), a solution group(X1*,X2*,…,Xq*)can be obtained within finite iteration steps in absence of round-off errors, and the minimum Frobenius norm solution or the minimum Frobenius norm least-squares solution group can be derived when an appropriate initial iterative matrix group is chosen. In addition, the optimal approximation solution group to a given matrix group(X¯1,X¯2,…,X¯q)in the Frobenius norm can be obtained by finding the least Frobenius norm solution group of new general coupled matrix equations. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the presented method.
