Efficient Approaches for Enclosing the United Solution Set of the Interval Generalized Sylvester Matrix Equation

In this work, we investigate the interval generalized Sylvester matrix equation ${\bf{A}}X{\bf{B}}+{\bf{C}}X{\bf{D}}={\bf{F}}$ and develop some techniques for obtaining outer estimations for the so-called united solution set of this interval system. First, we propose a modified variant of the Krawczyk operator which causes reducing computational complexity to cubic, compared to Kronecker product form. We then propose an iterative technique for enclosing the solution set. These approaches are based on spectral decompositions of the midpoints of ${\bf{A}}$, ${\bf{B}}$, ${\bf{C}}$ and ${\bf{D}}$ and in both of them we suppose that the midpoints of ${\bf{A}}$ and ${\bf{C}}$ are simultaneously diagonalizable as well as for the midpoints of the matrices ${\bf{B}}$ and ${\bf{D}}$. Some numerical experiments are given to illustrate the performance of the proposed methods

Solvability and uniqueness criteria for generalized Sylvester-type equations

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the generalized $\star$-Sylvester matrix equation, $AXB + CX^\star D = E$, to have exactly one solution for any right-hand side E. These conditions are given for arbitrary coefficient matrices $A, B, C, D$ (either square or rectangular) and generalize existing results for the same equation with square coefficients. We also review the known results regarding the existence and uniqueness of solution for generalized Sylvester and $\star$-Sylvester equations.Comment: This new version corrects some inaccuracies in corollaries 7 and
