Riccati Equations, Network Theory and Brune Synthesis: Old Solutions for Contemporary Problems

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Riccati equations have a natural connection with network theory. Classical passive network synthesis procedures, employing often frequency domain spectral factorization, can be mirrored by state variable procedures which rely on knowledge of a steady state Riccati equation solution. In contrast to many occurrences of steady state Riccati equations, it is possible (especially in network applications) to encounter equations which have strong, but not stabilizing solutions. Such equations constitute a problem for much software. Classical network synthesis procedures actually dealt with a frequency domain version of this problem using tools such as the Brune synthesis. The Riccati equation equivalent involves a deflation technique which will be exposed.
