Introduction edit
The variable reduction lemma allows the solution of algebraic Riccati inequality that involve a matrix of unknown dimension. This often arises when finding the controller that minimizes the H∞ norm.
The Data edit
In order to find the unknown matrix we need matrices , & .
The Optimization Problem edit
Given a symmetric matrix and two matrices & of column dimension n, consider the problem of finding matrix of compatible dimensions such that
The above equation is solvable for some if and only if the following two conditions hold
Where and are matrices whose columns are bases for the null spaces of & , respectively.
Conclusion edit
Using this technique we can get the value of unknown matrix .
