The following question is from a System Theory test with only answers (no solutions). Maybe someone here knows how to tackle it.




Consider the discrete time system $$x(k+1) = Ax(k)$$ with a matrix $$P = beginbmatrix 8 & 2\ 2 & 4 endbmatrix$$ such that $$A^TPA-P=- beginbmatrix 4 & 1 \ 1 & 2 endbmatrix$$ Which of the following statements is correct about the location of the eigenvalues of $A$?



  1. $A$ has only eigenvalues with modulus (absolute value) between $0.8$ and $1$.


  2. $A$ has only eigenvalues with modulus (absolute value) between $0.6$ and $0.8$.


  3. $A$ has only eigenvalues with modulus (absolute value) between $0.4$ and $0.6$.


  4. $A$ has only eigenvalues with modulus (absolute value) smaller than $0.4$.


  5. None of the above.




I thought about moving $P$ to the other side of the equals sign but that doesn't get me any further:



$$A^T beginbmatrix 8 & 2\ 2 & 4 endbmatrixA = beginbmatrix 4 & 1\ 1 & 2 endbmatrix$$



Thanks in advance for the help.

  • We have an equality between two quadratic forms. Apply these forms two an eigenvector of $A$. You will have an equality involving $A$'s corresponding eigenvalue.

First note that $A^T P A-P=-frac12P$



So, $A^T P A=frac12P$



Let $Av=lambda v$.



Then, we note that $v^T A^T=lambda v^T$.
So in particular,



$v^TA^T P A v=frac12v^TPv$



$lambda^2 v^T P v=frac12 v^T P v$



Note that $v^T P v>0$ for a non-zero vector $v$. ($v^T Pv$ defines a positive definite bilinear form or a inner product)



So $lambda^2=frac12$
