Abstract:

A squared Smith type algorithm for solving large-scale discrete-time Stein equations is developed. The algorithm uses restarted Krylov spaces to compute approximations of the squared Smith iterations in low-rank factored form. Fast convergence results when very few iterations of the alternating direction implicit method are applied to the Stein equation beforehand. The convergence of the algorithm is discussed and its performance is demonstrated by several test examples.
