A.
Lyapunov equation
The Lyapunov equation is a fundamental matrix equation in control theory and dynamical systems used to analyze the stability of equilibrium points and design stable controllers.
-
B.
Riccati equation
A Riccati equation is a type of nonlinear differential or difference equation, often quadratic in the unknown function, that plays a central role in control theory, filtering, and various areas of applied mathematics.
