Options:

Method Uses Schur decomposition method as in Kitagawa, An Algorithm for Solving the Matrix Equation X = F X F' + S, International Journal of Control, Volume 25, Number 5, pages 745–753 (1977).

Column-by-column solution method as suggested in Hammarling, Numerical Solution of the Stable, Non-Negative Definite Lyapunov Equation, IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis, Volume 2, pages 303–323 (1982).

— Function File: gram (a, b)

Return controllability gramian m of the continuous time system dx/dt = a x + b u.

m satisfies a m + m a' + b b' = 0.

— Function File: lyap (a, b, c)
— Function File: lyap (a, b)

Solve the Lyapunov (or Sylvester) equation via the Bartels-Stewart algorithm (Communications of the ACM, 1972).

If a, b, and c are specified, then lyap returns the solution of the Sylvester equation

              a x + x b + c = 0
     

If only (a, b) are specified, then lyap returns the solution of the Lyapunov equation

              a' x + x a + b = 0
     

If b is not square, then lyap returns the solution of either

              a' x + x a + b' b = 0
     

or

              a x + x a' + b b' = 0
     

whichever is appropriate.

Solves by using the Bartels-Stewart algorithm (1972).

— Function File: qzval (a, b)

Compute generalized eigenvalues of the matrix pencil

          (A - lambda B).
     

a and b must be real matrices.

qzval is obsolete; use qz instead.
