Abstract

This paper documents a software package for solving the Sylvester matrix equation (1) AXBT + CXDT = e All quantities are real matrices; A and C are m x n; B and D are m x n; and X and E are m x n. The unknown is X. Two symmetric forms of Eq. (1) are treated separately for efficiency. They are the continuous-time symmetric Sylvester equation (2) AXET + EXAT + C = 0 and the discrete time equation (3) AXAT + C = 0, for which A, E, and C is symmetric. The software also provides a means for estimating the condition number of these three equations. The algorithms employed are more fully described in an accompanying paper [3].
