Solving Linear Matrix Recurrences












4












$begingroup$



Question:



Are there standard techniques available for solving the following kind of linear matrix recurrence relations:



$$M_1,cdots,M_k in mathbb{R}^{mtimes n}$$
$$ A_1,cdots,A_k in mathbb{R}^{ntimes n}$$
$$M_{i+k+1} = sum_{j=1}^{k}{M_{i+j}A_j} $$




I need to solve the special case of $k=2$ that appears in the iterative modification of edge weights of complete symmetric graphs.

    @FusRoDah in the case of symmetric graphs I have $k=2, n=mgt 2$ as the number of vertices can be an arbitrary fixed number with at least 3 edges to rule out the trivial cases.

Same method as for scalar equations works. Put matrices $M_{n+k-1},M_{n+k-2},...,M_{n}$
vertically into a big matrix $X_n$ of size $mktimes n$. Then your recurrence becomes
a one-step recurrence $X_{n+1}=AX_{n}$, with some $A$, whose solution is $M^n=A^nX_0$, and this is solved by diagonalizing $A$ (or using its Jordan form).
