The routine may be called by the names f08yvf, nagf_lapackeig_ztgsyl or its LAPACK name ztgsyl.
3Description
f08yvf solves either the generalized complex Sylvester equations
(1)
or the equations
(2)
where the pair are given matrices in generalized Schur form, are given matrices in generalized Schur form and are given matrices. The pair are the solution matrices, and is an output scaling factor determined by the routine to avoid overflow in computing .
Equations (1) are equivalent to equations of the form
where
and is the Kronecker product. Equations (2) are then equivalent to
The pair are in generalized Schur form if and are upper triangular as returned, for example, by f08xqf, or f08xsf with .
Optionally, the routine estimates , the separation between the matrix pairs and , which is the smallest singular value of . The estimate can be based on either the Frobenius norm, or the -norm. The -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).

5Arguments
1: – Character(1)Input
On entry: if , solve the generalized Sylvester equation (1).
If , c and f hold the solutions and , respectively, to a slightly perturbed system but the input arrays a, b, d and e have not been changed.
If , c and f hold the solutions and , respectively, to the homogeneous system with . In this case dif is not referenced.
Normally, .
18: – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Output
On exit: the estimate of . If , dif is not referenced.
19: – Complex (Kind=nag_wp) arrayWorkspace
On exit: if , the real part of contains the minimum value of lwork required for optimal performance.
20: – IntegerInput
On entry: the dimension of the array work as declared in the (sub)program from which f08yvf is called.
If , 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 ,
if and or , ;
otherwise .
21: – Integer arrayWorkspace
22: – IntegerOutput
On exit: unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).
6Error Indicators and Warnings
If , argument had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

9Further Comments
The total number of floating-point operations needed to solve the generalized Sylvester equations is approximately . The Frobenius norm estimate of does not require additional significant computation, but the -norm estimate is typically five times more expensive.
