Abstract

In this paper, critical stability and critical stabilization for discrete stochastic systems with both state and control dependent noise are discussed via the spectrum technique. The Popov-Belevitch-Hautus (PBH) criterion for exact observability in a discrete version is presented. As applications, some interesting results on a class of generalized Lyapunov equations (GLE), unremovable spectra and discrete generalized algebraic Riccati equation (GARE) are obtained. Finally, the problem of assigning the spectra of discrete stochastic systems in a specified disk is considered and some numerical examples are given to demonstrate our results.
