In this paper, we show that the Kleinman algorithm can be used well to solve the algebraic Riccati equation (ARE) of singularly perturbed systems, where the quadratic term of the ARE may be indefinite. The quadratic convergence property of the Kleinman algorithm is proved by using the Newton-Kantorovich theorem when the initial condition is chosen appropriately. In addition, the numerical method to solve the generalized algebraic Lyapunov equation (GALE) appearing in the Kleinman algorithm is given.
