Given the square matrices A,B,D,E and the matrix C of conforming dimensions, we consider the linear matrix equation AXE + DXB = C in the unknown matrix X. Our aim is to provide an overview of the major algorithmic developments that have taken place over the past few decades in the numerical solution of this and related problems, which are producing reliable numerical tools in the formulation and solution of advanced mathematical models in engineering and scientific computing.

A novel state-space realization for parameterized macromodeling is proposed in this paper. A judicious choice of the state-space realization is required in order to account for the assumed smoothness of the state-space matrices with respect to the design parameters. This technique is used in combination with suitable interpolation schemes to interpolate a set of state-space matrices, and hence the poles and residues indirectly, in order to build accurate parameterized macromodels. The key points of the novel state-space realizations are the choice of a proper pivot matrix and a well-conditioned solution of a Sylvester equation. Stability and passivity are guaranteed by construction over the design space of interest. Pertinent numerical examples validate the proposed Sylvester realization for parameterized macromodeling.
