Solutions and perturbation estimates for the matrix equations \(X\pm A^*X^{-n}A=Q\) (Q1888569)

The authors consider the two matrix equations \(X\pm A^*X^{-n}A=Q\) (where \(A\) and \(Q\) are complex \(m\times m\)-matrices) for \(X\pm A^*X^{-n}A=Q\) existence of positive definite solutions. They obtain perturbation estimates for these solutions, as well as sufficient conditions for uniqueness of the positive definite solution of the ``minus''-equation. The authors illustrate the results by numerical examples.
