Abstract

The estimation of the positive definite solutions to perturbed discrete Lyapunov equations is discussed. Several upper bounds of the positive definite solutions are obtained when the perturbation parameters are norm-bounded uncertain. In the derivation of the bounds, one only needs to deal with eigenvalues of matrices and linear matrix inequalities, and thus avoids solving high-order algebraic equations. A numerical example is presented.
