Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to find the efficient iterative methods for solving the general matrix equation A1X+ XA2+A3XH+XHA4=B (including Lyapunov and Sylvester matrix equations as special cases) with the unknown complex (reflexive) matrix X.
Design/methodology/approach
By applying the principle of hierarchical identification and the Hermitian/skew‐Hermitian splitting of the coefficient matrix quadruplet A1; A2; A3; A4 the authors propose a shift‐splitting hierarchical identification (SSHI) method to solve the general linear matrix equation A1X+XA2+A3XH+XHA4=B. Also, the proposed algorithm is extended for finding the reflexive solution to this matrix equation.
Findings
The authors propose two iterative methods for finding the solution and reflexive solution of the general linear matrix equation, respectively. The proposed algorithms have a simple, neat and elegant structure. The convergence analysis of the methods is also discussed. Some numerical results are given which illustrate the power and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
Originality/value
So far, several methods have been presented and used for solving the matrix equations by using vec operator and Kronecker product, generalized inverse, generalized singular value decomposition (GSVD) and canonical correlation decomposition (CCD) of matrices. In several cases, it is difficult to find the solutions by using matrix decomposition and generalized inverse. Also vec operator and Kronecker product enlarge the size of the matrix greatly therefore the computations are very expensive in the process of finding solutions. To overcome these complications and drawbacks, by using the hierarchical identification principle and the Hermitian=skew‐Hermitian splitting of the coefficient matrix quadruplet (A1; A2; A3; A4), the authors propose SSHI methods for solving the general matrix equation.

Abstract
Purpose
The linear matrix equations have wide applications in engineering, physics, economics and statistics. The purpose of this paper is to introduce iterative methods for solving the systems of linear matrix equations.
Design/methodology/approach
According to the hierarchical identification principle, the authors construct alternating direction gradient-based iterative (ADGI) methods to solve systems of linear matrix equations.
Findings
The authors propose efficient ADGI methods to solve the systems of linear matrix equations. It is proven that the ADGI methods consistently converge to the solution for any initial matrix. Moreover, the constructed methods are extended for finding the reflexive solution to the systems of linear matrix equations.
Originality/value
This paper proposes efficient iterative methods without computing any matrix inverses, vec operator and Kronecker product for finding the solution of the systems of linear matrix equations.
