Abstract:
** Email: vassilios.tsachouridis{at}ieee.org*** Email: N.karcanias{at}city.ac.uk**** Email: ixp{at}le.ac.uk Algebraic quadratic equations are special cases of a singlegeneralized algebraic quadratic matrix equation (GQME). Thispaper focuses on the numerical solution of the GQME using probability-1homotopy methods. A synoptic review of these methods and theirapplication to algebraic matrix equations is provided as background.A large variety of analysis and design problems in systems andcontrol are reported as special cases of the presented frameworkand some of them are illustrated via numerical examples fromthe literature.
