Algebraic Riccati Equations are particularly significant in Optimal Control, filtering and estimation problems. The need to solve such equations is common in the analysis and linear quadratic Gaussian control along with general Control problems. In one form or the other, Riccati Equations play significant roles in optimal control of multivariable and large-scale systems, scattering theory, estimation, and detection processes. In addition, closed forms solution of Riccti Equations are intractable for two reasons namely; one, they are nonlinear and two, are in matrix forms.

The System


\begin{align} \dot x(t)&=Ax(t)+Bu(t)\\ \end{align}$$

The Optimization Problem
In control systems theory, many analysis and design problems are closely related to Riccati algebraic equations or inequalities. Find

The LMI: Algebraic Riccati Inequality
Title and mathematical description of the LMI formulation.



\begin{align} P>0, \\Q>0, \\ R>0.\\ \text{ The Algebraic Riccati inequality is given by}\;\\ A^T P+PA - (PB+N^T)R^-1(B^TP+N)+Q & \geq 0\\ \\ \text{ can be written using the Schur complement lemma as}\;\\ \begin{bmatrix} A^TP+PA+Q && PB+N^T\\ \star && R\\ \end{bmatrix}& \geq 0 \end{align}$

Conclusion:
If the solution exists, LMIs give a unique, stabilizing, symmetric matrix P.
