Abstract

The sensitivity of the solution of the periodic continuous Sylvester equation AkXk DkBkXk⊕1Ck = Ek, k = 0,1,…,K − 1, depends on the separation of two periodic matrix pairs \(\{(A_{k}, B_{k})\}_{k=0}^{K-1}\) and \(\{(C_{k},D_{k})\}_{k=0}^{K-1}\). In this paper, we derive upper and lower bounds of this separation in terms of periodic generalized Schur decompositions. The theoretical results are verified by a numerical example.
