Purpose
H
To solve for X = op(U) *op(U) either the stable non-negative
definite continuous-time Lyapunov equation
H 2 H
op(S) *X + X*op(S) = -scale *op(R) *op(R), (1)
or the convergent non-negative definite discrete-time Lyapunov
equation
H 2 H
op(S) *X*op(S) - X = -scale *op(R) *op(R), (2)
where op(K) = K or K**H (i.e., the conjugate transpose of the
matrix K), S and R are complex N-by-N upper triangular matrices,
and scale is an output scale factor, set less than or equal to 1
to avoid overflow in X. The diagonal elements of the matrix R must
be real non-negative.
In the case of equation (1) the matrix S must be stable (that is,
all the eigenvalues of S must have negative real parts), and for
equation (2) the matrix S must be convergent (that is, all the
eigenvalues of S must lie inside the unit circle).

Arguments
Mode Parameters
DISCR LOGICAL
Specifies the type of Lyapunov equation to be solved as
follows:
= .TRUE. : Equation (2), discrete-time case;
= .FALSE.: Equation (1), continuous-time case.
LTRANS LOGICAL
Specifies the form of op(K) to be used, as follows:
= .FALSE.: op(K) = K (No transpose);
= .TRUE. : op(K) = K**H (Conjugate transpose).
Input/Output Parameters
N (input) INTEGER
The order of the matrices S and R. N >= 0.
S (input) COMPLEX*16 array of dimension (LDS,N)
The leading N-by-N upper triangular part of this array
must contain the upper triangular matrix.
The elements below the upper triangular part of the array
S are not referenced.
LDS INTEGER
The leading dimension of array S. LDS >= MAX(1,N).
R (input/output) COMPLEX*16 array of dimension (LDR,N)
On entry, the leading N-by-N upper triangular part of this
array must contain the upper triangular matrix R, with
real non-negative entries on its main diagonal.
On exit, the leading N-by-N upper triangular part of this
array contains the upper triangular matrix U, with real
non-negative entries on its main diagonal.
The strictly lower triangle of R is not referenced.
LDR INTEGER
The leading dimension of array R. LDR >= MAX(1,N).
SCALE (output) DOUBLE PRECISION
The scale factor, scale, set less than or equal to 1 to
prevent the solution overflowing.
Workspace
DWORK DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N-1) ZWORK COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (2*N-2)Error Indicator
INFO INTEGER
= 0: successful exit;
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal
value;
= 3: if the matrix S is not stable (that is, one or more
of the eigenvalues of S has a non-negative real
part), if DISCR = .FALSE., or not convergent (that
is, one or more of the eigenvalues of S lies outside
the unit circle), if DISCR = .TRUE..
Method
The method used by the routine is based on a variant of the
Bartels and Stewart backward substitution method [1], that finds
the Cholesky factor op(U) directly without first finding X and
without the need to form the normal matrix op(R)'*op(R) [2].
The continuous-time Lyapunov equation in the canonical form
H H H 2 H
op(S) *op(U) *op(U) + op(U) *op(U)*op(S) = -scale *op(R) *op(R),
or the discrete-time Lyapunov equation in the canonical form
H H H 2 H
op(S) *op(U) *op(U)*op(S) - op(U) *op(U) = -scale *op(R) *op(R),
where U and R are upper triangular, is solved for U.

Numerical Aspects
3 The algorithm requires 0(N ) operations and is backward stable.Further Comments
The Lyapunov equation may be very ill-conditioned. In particular if S is only just stable (or convergent) then the Lyapunov equation will be ill-conditioned. "Large" elements in U relative to those of S and R, or a "small" value for scale, is a symptom of ill-conditioning. A condition estimate can be computed using SLICOT Library routine SB03MD.Example
