“…To our knowledge, a numerical analysis of matrix equations of the kind (1.2) has not been performed in the literature, while there is wide literature on matrix equations of the kind ∞ i=0 A i G i = 0. We refer to the books [5] and [20] for a survey on matrix equations arising in structured Markov chains, to [16] and [17] for the solution of general quadratic matrix equations, to [23] for an analysis of the conditioning, and to [6], [8], [9], [13], [14], [24], [26], [28], and [29] for strategies to improve the accuracy and the convergence.…”
