Abstract

We investigate the solution of the Lyapunov equation with the matrix sign function method. In order to obtain the factorized solution we use a partitioned Newton iteration, where one part of the iteration uses formatted arithmetic for the hierarchical matrix format while the other part converges to an approximate full-rank factor of the solution.
