pymor.algorithms.riccati.solve_pos_ricc_lrcf(A, E, B, C, R=None, trans=False, options=None, default_dense_solver_backend=_DEFAULT_RICC_LRCF_DENSE_SOLVER_BACKEND)[source]

Compute an approximate low-rank solution of a positive Riccati equation.

Returns a low-rank Cholesky factor $$Z$$ such that $$Z Z^T$$ approximates the solution $$X$$ of a (generalized) positive continuous-time algebraic Riccati equation:

• if trans is False

$A X E^T + E X A^T + E X C^T R^{-1} C X E^T + B B^T = 0.$
• if trans is True

$A^T X E + E^T X A + E^T X B R^{-1} B^T X E + C^T C = 0.$

If E is None, it is taken to be identity, and similarly for R.

If the solver is not specified using the options argument, a solver backend is chosen based on availability in the following order:

1. pymess (see pymor.bindings.pymess.solve_pos_ricc_lrcf),

2. slycot (see pymor.bindings.slycot.solve_pos_ricc_lrcf),

3. scipy (see pymor.bindings.scipy.solve_pos_ricc_lrcf).

Parameters

A

The non-parametric Operator A.

E

The non-parametric Operator E or None.

B

The operator B as a VectorArray from A.source.

C

The operator C as a VectorArray from A.source.

R

The matrix R as a 2D NumPy array or None.

trans

Whether the first Operator in the positive Riccati equation is transposed.

options

The solver options to use. See:

default_dense_solver_backend

Default dense solver backend to use (pymess, slycot, scipy).

Returns

Z

Low-rank Cholesky factor of the positive Riccati equation solution, VectorArray from A.source.

pymor.algorithms.riccati.solve_ricc_dense(A, E, B, C, R=None, trans=False, options=None, default_solver_backend=_DEFAULT_RICC_DENSE_SOLVER_BACKEND)[source]

Compute the solution of a Riccati equation.

Returns the solution $$X$$ of a (generalized) continuous-time algebraic Riccati equation:

• if trans is False

$A X E^T + E X A^T - E X C^T R^{-1} C X E^T + B B^T = 0.$
• if trans is True

$A^T X E + E^T X A - E^T X B R^{-1} B^T X E + C^T C = 0.$

We assume:

• A, E, B, C, R are real NumPy arrays,

• (E, A, B, C) is stabilizable and detectable, and

• R is symmetric positive definite.

If the solver is not specified using the options argument, a solver backend is chosen based on availability in the following order:

1. slycot (see pymor.bindings.slycot.solve_ricc_dense)

2. scipy (see pymor.bindings.scipy.solve_ricc_dense)

Parameters

A

The matrix A as a 2D NumPy array.

E

The matrix E as a 2D NumPy array or None.

B

C

The matrix C as a 2D NumPy array.

R

The matrix B as a 2D NumPy array or None.

trans

Whether the first matrix in the Riccati equation is transposed.

options

The solver options to use. See:

default_solver_backend

Default solver backend to use (slycot, scipy).

Returns

X

pymor.algorithms.riccati.solve_ricc_lrcf(A, E, B, C, R=None, trans=False, options=None, default_sparse_solver_backend=_DEFAULT_RICC_LRCF_SPARSE_SOLVER_BACKEND, default_dense_solver_backend=_DEFAULT_RICC_LRCF_DENSE_SOLVER_BACKEND)[source]

Compute an approximate low-rank solution of a Riccati equation.

Returns a low-rank Cholesky factor $$Z$$ such that $$Z Z^T$$ approximates the solution $$X$$ of a (generalized) continuous-time algebraic Riccati equation:

• if trans is False

$A X E^T + E X A^T - E X C^T R^{-1} C X E^T + B B^T = 0.$
• if trans is True

$A^T X E + E^T X A - E^T X B R^{-1} B^T X E + C^T C = 0.$

If E is None, it is taken to be identity, and similarly for R.

We assume:

For large-scale problems, we additionally assume that len(B) and len(C) are small.

If the solver is not specified using the options argument, a solver backend is chosen based on availability in the following order:
