Summary

This paper is concerned with the solution of the finite time Riccati equation. The solution to the Riccati equation is given in terms of the partition of the transition matrix. Matrix differential equations for the partition of the transition matrix are derived and are solved using computational methods. Examples illustrating the method are presented and the computational algorithms are given.
