“…Especially, the problem of finding fixed points of the nonlinear matrix equation X + A * X −1 A = Q where A and Q > 0 are given and X is unknown, has been extensively studied in the last two decades. The interest of studying such problem mainly relies on its applications in many fields such as the analysis of ladder networks [2], dynamic programming [33], control theory [22], stochastic filtering [1] and statistics [32] (see [3], [18] and [19] for detailed introduction). Some generalized forms of the nonlinear matrix equation X + A * X −1 A = Q have received much attention in recent years (see, for example, [6], [17], [24], and [30]).…”
