Description

f08yhf (dtgsyl) solves either the generalized real Sylvester equations
AR-LB =αC DR-LE =αF, (1)
or the equations
ATR+DTL =αC RBT+LET =-αF, (2)
where the pair A,D are given m by m matrices in real generalized Schur form, B,E are given n by n matrices in real generalized Schur form and C,F are given m by n matrices. The pair R,L are the m by n solution matrices, and α is an output scaling factor determined by the routine to avoid overflow in computing R,L.
Equations (1) are equivalent to equations of the form
Zx=αb ,  
where
Z = IA-BTI ID-ETI  
and  is the Kronecker product. Equations (2) are then equivalent to
ZTy = αb .  
The pair S,T are in real generalized Schur form if S is block upper triangular with 1 by 1 and 2 by 2 diagonal blocks on the diagonal and T is upper triangular as returned, for example, by f08xaf (dgges), or f08xef (dhgeqz) with job='S'.
Optionally, the routine estimates DifA,D,B,E, the separation between the matrix pairs A,D and B,E, which is the smallest singular value of Z. The estimate can be based on either the Frobenius norm, or the 1-norm. The 1-norm estimate can be three to ten times more expensive than the Frobenius norm estimate, but makes the condition estimation uniform with the nonsymmetric eigenproblem. The Frobenius norm estimate provides a low cost, but equally reliable estimate. For more information see Sections 2.4.8.3 and 4.11.1.3 of Anderson et al. (1999) and Kågström and Poromaa (1996).

17:   scale – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Output
On exit: α, the scaling factor in (1) or (2).
If 0<scale<1, c and f hold the solutions R and L, respectively, to a slightly perturbed system but the input arrays a, b, d and e have not been changed.
If scale=0, c and f hold the solutions R and L, respectively, to the homogeneous system with C=F=0. In this case dif is not referenced.
Normally, scale=1.

20:   lwork – IntegerInput
On entry: the dimension of the array work as declared in the (sub)program from which f08yhf (dtgsyl) is called.
If lwork=-1, a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the minimum size of the work array, returns this value as the first entry of the work array, and no error message related to lwork is issued.
Constraints:
if lwork-1,
  • if trans='N' and ijob=1 or 2, lworkmax1,2×m×n;
  • otherwise lwork1.
21:   iworkmax1,m+n+6 – Integer arrayWorkspace

Error Indicators and Warnings

info<0
If info=-i, argument i had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
info>0
A,D and B,E have common or close eigenvalues and so no solution could be computed.

Accuracy

See Kågström (1994) for a perturbation analysis of the generalized Sylvester equation.

Parallelism and Performance

f08yhf (dtgsyl) makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations needed to solve the generalized Sylvester equations is approximately 2mnn+m. The Frobenius norm estimate of Dif does not require additional significant computation, but the 1-norm estimate is typically five times more expensive.
The complex analogue of this routine is f08yvf (ztgsyl).
