A nonlinear conjugate gradient method for a special class of matrix optimization problems

• In this article, a nonlinear conjugate gradient method is studied and analyzed for finding the local solutions of two matrix optimization problems resulting from the decentralized static output feedback problem for continuous and discrete-time systems. The global convergence of the proposed method is established. Several numerical examples of decentralized static output feedback are presented that demonstrate the applicability of the considered approach.
