On solutions to the matrix equations [formula omitted] and [formula omitted].

The solution of the generalized Sylvester real matrix equation XB − AX = CY is important in stability analysis and controller design in linear systems. This paper presents an explicit solution to the generalized Sylvester real matrix equation XB − AX = CY . Based on the derived explicit solution to the considered generalized Sylvester real matrix equation, a new approach is provided for obtaining the solutions to the generalized Sylvester quaternion j-conjugate matrix equation XB − A X ^ = CY using the real representation of a quaternion matrix. The closed form solution is established in an explicit form for this generalized Sylvester quaternion j-conjugate matrix equation. The existing complex representation method requires the coefficient matrix A to be a block diagonal matrix over complex field, while it is any suitable dimension quaternion matrix in the present paper. Therefore, we generalize the existing results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
