SLICOT Working Note 1999-17: December 1999.

This report surveys the deliverables of Task I.A. We first give a brief description of the control problems that are solved by the basic numerical tools developed in this Task and we list the different routines of SLICOT that correspond to these control problems and that are available via ftp. We then describe the toolboxes that give interactive access via MATLAB or Scilab to those routines and describe the benchmark problems for this Task. We finally give a few numerical examples exhibiting the accuracy and speed of the new tools and describe a demo for the routines of this Task.
