Need a hint on how to solve this matrix equation

76 Views Asked by At

\begin{equation} AX+XA=B \end{equation}

$A^{-1}$ and $B^{-1}$ is available.

The furthest I've gotten is: \begin{equation} X+A^{-1}XA=A^{-1}B \end{equation} which doesn't help at all.

This is called a Sylvester equation. Note that a unique solution will require that $A$ be non-singular and have no eigenvalue pairs of the form $\lambda$ and $-\lambda$. That Wikipedia page describes several well known solution methods that are implemented in standard mathematical packages.
