On the symmetric matrix word equation XBX2B3X 2BX = A

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this paper we present explicitly the unique positive definite solution of the symmetric word equation XBX2B3X2BX = A over 2×2 positive definite matrices. This word equation appeared as a counterexample to the uniqueness of solution conjecture for symmetric word equations; it has multiple positive definite solutions for certain 3x3 positive definite matrices A and. B.
