We give a simple and transparent proof for the square-root method of solving the continuous-time algebraic Riccati equation. We examine some benefits of combining the square-root method with other solution methods. The iterative square-root method is also discussed. Finally, paradigm numerical examples are given to compare the square-root method with the Schur method.
