IMPLEMENTATION
These routines are part of the SCSL Scientific Library and can be loaded
using either the -lscs or the -lscs_mp option. The -lscs_mp option
directs the linker to use the multi-processor version of the library.
When linking to SCSL with -lscs or -lscs_mp, the default integer size is
4 bytes (32 bits). Another version of SCSL is available in which integers
are 8 bytes (64 bits). This version allows the user access to larger
memory sizes and helps when porting legacy Cray codes. It can be loaded
by using the -lscs_i8 option or the -lscs_i8_mp option. A program may use
only one of the two versions; 4-byte integer and 8-byte integer library
calls cannot be mixed.
PURPOSE
CTGSYL solves the generalized Sylvester equation:
A * R - L * B = scale * C (1)
D * R - L * E = scale * F
where R and L are unknown m-by-n matrices, (A, D), (B, E) and (C, F) are
given matrix pairs of size m-by-m, n-by-n and m-by-n, respectively, with
complex entries. A, B, D and E are upper triangular (i.e., (A,D) and
(B,E) in generalized Schur form).
The solution (R, L) overwrites (C, F). 0 <= SCALE <= 1
is an output scaling factor chosen to avoid overflow.
In matrix notation (1) is equivalent to solve Zx = scale*b, where Z is
defined as
Z = [ kron(In, A) -kron(B', Im) ] (2)
[ kron(In, D) -kron(E', Im) ],
Here Ix is the identity matrix of size x and X' is the conjugate
transpose of X. Kron(X, Y) is the Kronecker product between the matrices

X and Y.
If TRANS = 'C', y in the conjugate transposed system Z'*y = scale*b is
solved for, which is equivalent to solve for R and L in
A' * R + D' * L = scale * C (3)
R * B' + L * E' = scale * -F
This case (TRANS = 'C') is used to compute an one-norm-based estimate of
Dif[(A,D), (B,E)], the separation between the matrix pairs (A,D) and
(B,E), using CLACON.
If IJOB >= 1, CTGSYL computes a Frobenius norm-based estimate of
Dif[(A,D),(B,E)]. That is, the reciprocal of a lower bound on the
reciprocal of the smallest singular value of Z.
This is a level-3 BLAS algorithm.
ARGUMENTS
TRANS (input) CHARACTER*1
= 'N': solve the generalized sylvester equation (1).
= 'C': solve the "conjugate transposed" system (3).
IJOB (input) INTEGER
Specifies what kind of functionality to be performed. =0: solve
(1) only.
=1: The functionality of 0 and 3.
=2: The functionality of 0 and 4.
=3: Only an estimate of Dif[(A,D), (B,E)] is computed. (look
ahead strategy is used). =4: Only an estimate of Dif[(A,D),
(B,E)] is computed. (CGECON on sub-systems is used). Not
referenced if TRANS = 'C'.
M (input) INTEGER
The order of the matrices A and D, and the row dimension of the
matrices C, F, R and L.
N (input) INTEGER
The order of the matrices B and E, and the column dimension of
the matrices C, F, R and L.
A (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA, M)
The upper triangular matrix A.
LDA (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(1, M).
B (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDB, N)
The upper triangular matrix B.

CTGSYL(3S)CTGSYL(3S)
LDB (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array B. LDB >= max(1, N).
C (input/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDC, N)
On entry, C contains the right-hand-side of the first matrix
equation in (1) or (3). On exit, if IJOB = 0, 1 or 2, C has been
overwritten by the solution R. If IJOB = 3 or 4 and TRANS = 'N',
C holds R, the solution achieved during the computation of the
Dif-estimate.
LDC (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array C. LDC >= max(1, M).
D (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDD, M)
The upper triangular matrix D.
LDD (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array D. LDD >= max(1, M).
E (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDE, N)
The upper triangular matrix E.
LDE (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array E. LDE >= max(1, N).
F (input/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDF, N)
On entry, F contains the right-hand-side of the second matrix
equation in (1) or (3). On exit, if IJOB = 0, 1 or 2, F has been
overwritten by the solution L. If IJOB = 3 or 4 and TRANS = 'N',
F holds L, the solution achieved during the computation of the
Dif-estimate.
LDF (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array F. LDF >= max(1, M).
DIF (output) REAL
On exit DIF is the reciprocal of a lower bound of the reciprocal
of the Dif-function, i.e. DIF is an upper bound of Dif[(A,D),
(B,E)] = sigma-min(Z), where Z as in (2). IF IJOB = 0 or TRANS =
'C', DIF is not referenced.
SCALE (output) REAL
On exit SCALE is the scaling factor in (1) or (3). If 0 < SCALE
< 1, C and F hold the solutions R and L, resp., to a slightly
perturbed system but the input matrices A, B, D and E have not
been changed. If SCALE = 0, R and L will hold the solutions to
the homogenious system with C = F = 0.
WORK (workspace/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LWORK)
IF IJOB = 0, WORK is not referenced. Otherwise,
Page 3
CTGSYL(3S)CTGSYL(3S)
LWORK (input) INTEGER
The dimension of the array WORK. LWORK > = 1. If IJOB = 1 or 2
and TRANS = 'N', LWORK >= 2*M*N.
If LWORK = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the routine
only calculates the optimal 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 by XERBLA.
IWORK (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (M+N+2)
If IJOB = 0, IWORK is not referenced.
INFO (output) INTEGER
=0: successful exit
<0: If INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value.
>0: (A, D) and (B, E) have common or very close eigenvalues.
