Abstract
We investigate the Sylvester matrix equation in which the product is given by the semi-tensor product, and all involved matrices are matrices over an arbitrary field. We discuss necessary/sufficient condition(s) for the matrix equation to have a solution or a unique solution, or infinitely many solutions. These conditions concern ranks and linear independence. Moreover, we apply a certain kind of vectorization and matrix partitioning to transform the Sylvester equation into an equivalent linear system with respect to the conventional matrix product. Our study includes the Lyapunov equation and the equation A ⋉ X = C as special cases.
