Abstract
In this paper, we study the matrix equation X + A*X −1 A + B*X −1 B = I, where A, B are square matrices, and obtain some conditions for the existence of the positive definite solution of this equation. Two iterative algorithms to find the positive definite solution are given. Some numerical results are reported to illustrate the effectiveness of the algorithms.
