SLICOT Working Note 2001-6: October 2001.

In this report, we compare two Sylvester equation solvers: the MATLAB function lyap and the SLICOT function slsylv. An algorithm designed for model reduction and based on the resolution of a Sylvester equation is presented. In this context, timing results show the superiority of the SLICOT based m.file slsylv.
