On the $\top$-Stein equation $X=AX^\top B+C$
  We consider the $\top$-Stein equation $X = AX^\top B + C$, where the operator $(\cdot)^\top$ denotes the transpose ($\top$) of a matrix. In the first part of this paper, we analyze necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the solution $X$. In the second part, a numerical algorithm for solving $\top$-Stein equation is given under the solvability conditions.
