On the HermitianR-Conjugate Solution of a System of Matrix Equations
LetRbe annbynnontrivial real symmetric involution matrix, that is,R=R−1=RT≠In. Ann×ncomplex matrixAis termedR-conjugate ifA¯=RAR, whereA¯denotes the conjugate ofA. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the HermitianR-conjugate solution to the system of complex matrix equationsAX=C and XB=Dand present an expression of the HermitianR-conjugate solution to this system when the solvability conditions are satisfied. In addition, the solution to an optimal approximation problem is obtained. Furthermore, the least squares HermitianR-conjugate solution with the least norm to this system mentioned above is considered. The representation of such solution is also derived. Finally, an algorithm and numerical examples are given.
