Iterative solutions to the extended Sylvester-conjugate matrix equations

This paper is concerned with iterative solutions to a class of complex matrix equations. By applying the hierarchical identification principle, an iterative algorithm is constructed to solve this class of complex matrix equations. The range of the convergence factor is given to guarantee that the proposed algorithm is convergent for arbitrary initial matrix by applying a real representation of a complex matrix as a tool. By using some properties of the real representation, a sufficient convergence condition that is easier to compute is also given by original coefficient matrices. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
