%0 Journal Article %T Two iterative algorithms for solving coupled matrix equations over reflexive and anti-reflexive matrices %A Mehdi Dehghan %A Masoud Hajarian %J Computational and Applied Mathematics %D 2012 %I %R 10.1590/s1807-03022012000200008 %X An n ¡Á n real matrix P is said to be a generalized reflection matrix if P T = P and P2 = I (where P T is the transpose of P). A matrix A ¡Ê Rn¡Án is said to be a reflexive (anti-reflexive) matrix with respect to the generalized reflection matrix P if A = P A P (A = - P A P). The reflexive and anti-reflexive matrices have wide applications in many fields. In this article, two iterative algorithms are proposed to solve the coupled matrix equations { A1 XB1 + C1X T D1 = M1. A2 XB2 + C2X T D2 = M2. over reflexive and anti-reflexive matrices, respectively. We prove that the first (second) algorithm converges to the reflexive (anti-reflexive) solution of the coupled matrix equations for any initial reflexive (anti-reflexive) matrix. Finally two numerical examples are used to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithms.
