The nonlinear matrix equation,X-∑i=1mAi*XδiAi=Q,with-1≤δi<0is investigated. A fixed point theorem in partially ordered sets is proved. And then, by means of this fixed point theorem, the existence of a unique Hermitian positive definite solution for the matrix equation is derived. Some properties of the unique Hermitian positive definite solution are obtained. A residual bound of an approximate solution to the equation is evaluated. The theoretical results are illustrated by numerical examples.

By using the fixed point theorem for monotone maps in a normal cone, we prove a uniqueness theorem for the positive definite solution of the matrix equationX=Q+A⁎f(X)A, wherefis a monotone map on the set of positive definite matrices. Then we apply the uniqueness theorem to a special equationX=kQ+A⁎(X^-C)qAand prove that the equation has a unique positive definite solution whenQ^≥Candk>1and0<q<1. For this equation the basic fixed point iteration is discussed. Numerical examples show that the iterative method is feasible and effective.

We consider the Hermitian positive definite solution of the nonlinear matrix equation X=Q+∑i=1mAi(B+X-1)-1Ai*. Some new sufficient conditions and necessary conditions for the existence of Hermitian positive definite solutions are derived. An iterative method is proposed to compute the Hermitian positive definite solution. In the end, an example is used to illustrate the correctness and application of our results.

Nonlinear matrix equationXs+A∗X−t1A+B∗X−t2B=Qhas many applications in engineering; control theory; dynamic programming; ladder networks; stochastic filtering; statistics and so forth. In this paper, the Hermitian positive definite solutions of nonlinear matrix equationXs+A∗X−t1A+B∗X−t2B=Qare considered, whereQis a Hermitian positive definite matrix,A,Bare nonsingular complex matrices,sis a positive number, and0<ti≤1,i=1,2. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Hermitian positive definite solutions are derived. A sufficient condition for the existence of a unique Hermitian positive definite solution is given. In addition, some necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for the existence of Hermitian positive definite solutions are presented. Finally, an iterative method is proposed to compute the maximal Hermitian positive definite solution, and numerical example is given to show the efficiency of the proposed iterative method.

We consider the nonlinear matrix equationX=Q+A∗(X^−C)−1A, whereQis positive definite,Cis positive semidefinite, andX^is the block diagonal matrix defined byX^=diag(X,X,…,X). We prove that the equation has a unique positive definite solution via variable replacement and fixed point theorem. The basic fixed point iteration for the equation is given.

The nonlinear matrix equationX-A*X-pA=Qwithp>0is investigated. We consider two cases of this equation: the casep≥1and the case0<p<1.In the casep≥1, a new sufficient condition for the existence of a unique positive definite solution for the matrix equation is obtained. A perturbation estimate for the positive definite solution is derived. Explicit expressions of the condition number for the positive definite solution are given. In the case0<p<1, a new sharper perturbation bound for the unique positive definite solution is derived. A new backward error of an approximate solution to the unique positive definite solution is obtained. The theoretical results are illustrated by numerical examples.
