Abstract

This paper is devoted to the perturbation analysis for the quadratic matrix equation X^2-EX-F=0, where E is a diagonal matrix and F is an M-matrix. The quadratic matrix equation of this type arises in noisy Wiener-Hopf problems for Markov chains. The solution of practical interest is a particular M-matrix solution. In this paper the perturbation bound of the M-matrix solution is presented, meanwhile the residual bound for an approximate solution to the M-matrix solution is obtained. The theoretical results are illustrated by using simple numerical examples.
