On Basis-Free Solution to Sylvester Equation in Geometric Algebra

Dmitry Shirokov

Abstract: The Sylvester equation and its particular case, the Lyapunov equation, are widely used in image processing, control theory, stability analysis, signal processing, model reduction, and many more. We present the basis-free solution to the Sylvester equation in geometric algebra of arbitrary dimension. The basis-free solutions involve only the operations of geometric product, summation, and the operations of conjugation. The results can be used in symbolic computation.
