Abstract
Two kinds of algorithms are usually resorted to in order to solve the well-known Lyapounov discrete equation A^{T}XA - X = Q : transformation of the original linear system in a classical one with n(n + 1)/2 unknowns, and iterative scheme [1]. The first requires n^{4}/4 storage words and a cost of n^{6}/3 multiplications, which is impractical with a large system, and the second applies only if A is a stable matrix. The solution proposed requires no stability assumption and operates in only some n 2 words and n 3 multiplications.
