“…If no such matrices are found, we can conclude immediately that the system is not SOF stabilizable. Like many other iterative algorithms (Cao, Lam, & Sun, 1998;Cao, Sun, & Mao, 1998;Fujimori, 2004;Gadewadikar, Lewis, Xie, Kucera, & Abu-Khalaf, 2007;Iwasaki, 1999), the sequence of iterates depends on the selection of initial values, and appropriate selection of M (1) i will improve the solvability. In addition, it should be emphasized that the tuning parameter α may affect the optimum of the converged value γ (∞) * , although larger α make the condition less stringent.…”
