A New Iterative Algorithm to Solve Periodic Riccati Differential Equations With Sign Indefinite Quadratic Terms

摘要

An iterative algorithm to solve periodic Riccati differential equations (PRDE) with an indefinite quadratic term is proposed. In our algorithm, we replace the problem of solving a PRDE with an indefinite quadratic term by the problem of solving a sequence of PRDEs with a negative semidefinite quadratic term which can be solved by existing methods. The global convergence and the local quadratic rate of convergence are both established. A numerical example is given to illustrate our algorithm.
