Consider the nonlinear matrix equation
X-
A*XpA-
B*X-qB=
I (0<
p,
q<1). By using the fixed point theorem for mixed monotone operator in a normal cone, we prove that the equation with 0<p,q<
1
always has the unique positive definite solution. Two different iterative methods are given, including the basic fixed point iterative method and the multi-step stationary iterative method. Numerical examples show that the iterative methods are feasible and effective.
