Purpose
To reduce the matrices A and B using (and optionally accumulating)
state-space and input-space transformations U and V respectively,
such that the pair of matrices
Ac = U' * A * U, Bc = U' * B * V
are in upper "staircase" form. Specifically,
[ Acont * ] [ Bcont ]
Ac = [ ], Bc = [ ],
[ 0 Auncont ] [ 0 ]
and
[ A11 A12 . . . A1,p-1 A1p ] [ B1 ]
[ A21 A22 . . . A2,p-1 A2p ] [ 0 ]
[ 0 A32 . . . A3,p-1 A3p ] [ 0 ]
Acont = [ . . . . . . . ], Bc = [ . ],
[ . . . . . . ] [ . ]
[ . . . . . ] [ . ]
[ 0 0 . . . Ap,p-1 App ] [ 0 ]
where the blocks B1, A21, ..., Ap,p-1 have full row ranks and
p is the controllability index of the pair. The size of the
block Auncont is equal to the dimension of the uncontrollable
subspace of the pair (A, B). The first stage of the reduction,
the "forward" stage, accomplishes the reduction to the orthogonal
canonical form (see SLICOT library routine AB01ND). The blocks
B1, A21, ..., Ap,p-1 are further reduced in a second, "backward"
stage to upper triangular form using RQ factorization. Each of
these stages is optional.

Arguments
Mode Parameters
STAGES CHARACTER*1
Specifies the reduction stages to be performed as follows:
= 'F': Perform the forward stage only;
= 'B': Perform the backward stage only;
= 'A': Perform both (all) stages.
JOBU CHARACTER*1
Indicates whether the user wishes to accumulate in a
matrix U the state-space transformations as follows:
= 'N': Do not form U;
= 'I': U is internally initialized to the unit matrix (if
STAGES <> 'B'), or updated (if STAGES = 'B'), and
the orthogonal transformation matrix U is
returned.
JOBV CHARACTER*1
Indicates whether the user wishes to accumulate in a
matrix V the input-space transformations as follows:
= 'N': Do not form V;
= 'I': V is initialized to the unit matrix and the
orthogonal transformation matrix V is returned.
JOBV is not referenced if STAGES = 'F'.
Input/Output Parameters
N (input) INTEGER
The actual state dimension, i.e. the order of the
matrix A. N >= 0.
M (input) INTEGER
The actual input dimension. M >= 0.
A (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDA,N)
On entry, the leading N-by-N part of this array must
contain the state transition matrix A to be transformed.
If STAGES = 'B', A should be in the orthogonal canonical
form, as returned by SLICOT library routine AB01ND.
On exit, the leading N-by-N part of this array contains
the transformed state transition matrix U' * A * U.
The leading NCONT-by-NCONT part contains the upper block
Hessenberg state matrix Acont in Ac, given by U' * A * U,
of a controllable realization for the original system.
The elements below the first block-subdiagonal are set to
zero. If STAGES <> 'F', the subdiagonal blocks of A are
triangularized by RQ factorization, and the annihilated
elements are explicitly zeroed.
LDA INTEGER
The leading dimension of array A. LDA >= MAX(1,N).
B (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDB,M)
On entry, the leading N-by-M part of this array must
contain the input matrix B to be transformed.
If STAGES = 'B', B should be in the orthogonal canonical
form, as returned by SLICOT library routine AB01ND.
On exit with STAGES = 'F', the leading N-by-M part of
this array contains the transformed input matrix U' * B,
with all elements but the first block set to zero.
On exit with STAGES <> 'F', the leading N-by-M part of
this array contains the transformed input matrix
U' * B * V, with all elements but the first block set to
zero and the first block in upper triangular form.
LDB INTEGER
The leading dimension of array B. LDB >= MAX(1,N).
U (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDU,N)
If STAGES <> 'B' or JOBU = 'N', then U need not be set
on entry.
If STAGES = 'B' and JOBU = 'I', then, on entry, the
leading N-by-N part of this array must contain the
transformation matrix U that reduced the pair to the
orthogonal canonical form.
On exit, if JOBU = 'I', the leading N-by-N part of this
array contains the transformation matrix U that performed
the specified reduction.
If JOBU = 'N', the array U is not referenced and can be
supplied as a dummy array (i.e. set parameter LDU = 1 and
declare this array to be U(1,1) in the calling program).
LDU INTEGER
The leading dimension of array U.
If JOBU = 'I', LDU >= MAX(1,N); if JOBU = 'N', LDU >= 1.
V (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDV,M)
If JOBV = 'I', then the leading M-by-M part of this array
contains the transformation matrix V.
If STAGES = 'F', or JOBV = 'N', the array V is not
referenced and can be supplied as a dummy array (i.e. set
parameter LDV = 1 and declare this array to be V(1,1) in
the calling program).
LDV INTEGER
The leading dimension of array V.
If STAGES <> 'F' and JOBV = 'I', LDV >= MAX(1,M);
if STAGES = 'F' or JOBV = 'N', LDV >= 1.
NCONT (input/output) INTEGER
The order of the controllable state-space representation.
NCONT is input only if STAGES = 'B'.
INDCON (input/output) INTEGER
The number of stairs in the staircase form (also, the
controllability index of the controllable part of the
system representation).
INDCON is input only if STAGES = 'B'.
KSTAIR (input/output) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
The leading INDCON elements of this array contain the
dimensions of the stairs, or, also, the orders of the
diagonal blocks of Acont.
KSTAIR is input if STAGES = 'B', and output otherwise.
Tolerances
TOL DOUBLE PRECISION
The tolerance to be used in rank determination when
transforming (A, B). If the user sets TOL > 0, then
the given value of TOL is used as a lower bound for the
reciprocal condition number (see the description of the
argument RCOND in the SLICOT routine MB03OD); a
(sub)matrix whose estimated condition number is less than
1/TOL is considered to be of full rank. If the user sets
TOL <= 0, then an implicitly computed, default tolerance,
defined by TOLDEF = N*N*EPS, is used instead, where EPS
is the machine precision (see LAPACK Library routine
DLAMCH).
TOL is not referenced if STAGES = 'B'.
Workspace
IWORK INTEGER array, dimension (M)
IWORK is not referenced if STAGES = 'B'.
DWORK DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDWORK)
On exit, if INFO = 0, DWORK(1) returns the optimal value
of LDWORK.
LDWORK INTEGER
The length of the array DWORK.
If STAGES <> 'B', LDWORK >= MAX(1, N + MAX(N,3*M));
If STAGES = 'B', LDWORK >= MAX(1, M + MAX(N,M)).
For optimum performance LDWORK should be larger.
Error Indicator
INFO INTEGER
= 0: successful exit;
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal
value.
Method
Staircase reduction of the pencil [B|sI - A] is used. Orthogonal
transformations U and V are constructed such that
|B |sI-A * . . . * * |
| 1| 11 . . . |
| | A sI-A . . . |
| | 21 22 . . . |
| | . . * * |
[U'BV|sI - U'AU] = |0 | 0 . . |
| | A sI-A * |
| | p,p-1 pp |
| | |
|0 | 0 0 sI-A |
| | p+1,p+1|
where the i-th diagonal block of U'AU has dimension KSTAIR(i),
for i = 1,...,p. The value of p is returned in INDCON. The last
block contains the uncontrollable modes of the (A,B)-pair which
are also the generalized eigenvalues of the above pencil.
The complete reduction is performed in two stages. The first,
forward stage accomplishes the reduction to the orthogonal
canonical form. The second, backward stage consists in further
reduction to triangular form by applying left and right orthogonal
transformations.

Numerical Aspects
The algorithm requires O((N + M) x N**2) operations and is backward stable (see [1]).Further Comments
If the system matrices A and B are badly scaled, it would be useful to scale them with SLICOT routine TB01ID, before calling the routine.Example
