SLICOT Working Note 1999-11: August 1999.

Several MEX-files are developed based on SLICOT Fortran subroutines. The MEX-files provide new tools for the numerical solution of some classical control problems such as the solution of linear or Riccati matrix equations computations in the MATLAB environment. Numerical tests show that the resulting MEX-files are equally accurate and much more efficient than the corresponding MATLAB functions in the control system toolbox and the robust control toolbox. In order to increase user-friendlyness the related m-files are also developed so that the MEX-file interface to the corresponding SLICOT routines can be implemented directly and easily.
