Existence for a matrix equation arising in microelectronics.

In this paper we rigorously show the existence of solutions of a matrix equation which arises in the design of micro electronical circuits. This equation was studied by Szidarovszky and Palusinsk [Appl. Math. Comput. \textbf{64}, 115-119(1994)], who also presented an iterative algorithm for its solution. We show, via an example, that this algorithm could converge extremely slow in certian cases. The solution can then be used to minimize the reflection coefficients of the active signals.
