A modified large-scale structure-preserving doubling algorithm for a large-scale Riccati equation from transport theory

Abstract

We consider the large scale nonsymmetric algebraic Riccati equation arising in transport theory, where the $n\times n$ coefficient matrices $B,C$ are symmetric and low-ranked and $A,E$ are rank one updates of nonsingular diagonal matrices. By introducing a balancing strategy and setting appropriate initial matrices carefully, we can simplify the large-scale structure-preserving doubling algorithm (SDA\_ls) for this special equation. We give modified large-scale structure-preserving doubling algorithm, which can reduce the flop operations of original SDA\_ls by half. Numerical experiments illustrate the effectiveness of our method.
