Solution of stable continuous- or discrete-time Lyapunov equations (Cholesky factor)

[Specification] [Arguments] [Method] [References] [Comments] [Example]

Purpose

  To solve for X = op(U)'*op(U) either the stable non-negative
  definite continuous-time Lyapunov equation
                                2
     op(A)'*X + X*op(A) = -scale *op(B)'*op(B)                   (1)

  or the convergent non-negative definite discrete-time Lyapunov
  equation
                                2
     op(A)'*X*op(A) - X = -scale *op(B)'*op(B)                   (2)

  where op(K) = K or K' (i.e., the transpose of the matrix K), A is
  an N-by-N matrix, op(B) is an M-by-N matrix, U is an upper
  triangular matrix containing the Cholesky factor of the solution
  matrix X, X = op(U)'*op(U), and scale is an output scale factor,
  set less than or equal to 1 to avoid overflow in X. If matrix B
  has full rank then the solution matrix X will be positive-definite
  and hence the Cholesky factor U will be nonsingular, but if B is
  rank deficient then X may be only positive semi-definite and U
  will be singular.

  In the case of equation (1) the matrix A must be stable (that
  is, all the eigenvalues of A must have negative real parts),
  and for equation (2) the matrix A must be convergent (that is,
  all the eigenvalues of A must lie inside the unit circle).

Arguments

Mode Parameters

  DICO    CHARACTER*1
          Specifies the type of Lyapunov equation to be solved as
          follows:

Input/Output Parameters
  N       (input) INTEGER
          The order of the matrix A and the number of columns in
          matrix op(B).  N >= 0.

  M       (input) INTEGER
          The number of rows in matrix op(B).  M >= 0.

  A       (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDA,N)
          On entry, the leading N-by-N part of this array must
          contain the matrix A. If FACT = 'F', then A contains
          an upper quasi-triangular matrix S in Schur canonical
          form; the elements below the upper Hessenberg part of the
          array A are not referenced.
          On exit, the leading N-by-N upper Hessenberg part of this
          array contains the upper quasi-triangular matrix S in
          Schur canonical form from the Shur factorization of A.
          The contents of array A is not modified if FACT = 'F'.

  LDA     INTEGER
          The leading dimension of array A.  LDA >= MAX(1,N).

  Q       (input or output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension
          (LDQ,N)
          On entry, if FACT = 'F', then the leading N-by-N part of
          this array must contain the orthogonal matrix Q of the
          Schur factorization of A.
          Otherwise, Q need not be set on entry.
          On exit, the leading N-by-N part of this array contains
          the orthogonal matrix Q of the Schur factorization of A.
          The contents of array Q is not modified if FACT = 'F'.

  B       (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDB,N)
          if TRANS = 'N', and dimension (LDB,max(M,N)), if
          TRANS = 'T'.
          On entry, if TRANS = 'N', the leading M-by-N part of this
          array must contain the coefficient matrix B of the
          equation.
          On entry, if TRANS = 'T', the leading N-by-M part of this
          array must contain the coefficient matrix B of the
          equation.
          On exit, the leading N-by-N part of this array contains
          the upper triangular Cholesky factor U of the solution
          matrix X of the problem, X = op(U)'*op(U).
          If M = 0 and N > 0, then U is set to zero.

  LDB     INTEGER
          The leading dimension of array B.
          LDB >= MAX(1,N,M), if TRANS = 'N';
          LDB >= MAX(1,N),   if TRANS = 'T'.

  SCALE   (output) DOUBLE PRECISION
          The scale factor, scale, set less than or equal to 1 to
          prevent the solution overflowing.

  WR      (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
  WI      (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
          If FACT = 'N', and INFO >= 0 and INFO <= 2, WR and WI
          contain the real and imaginary parts, respectively, of
          the eigenvalues of A.
          If FACT = 'F', WR and WI are not referenced.

Workspace
  DWORK   DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDWORK)
          On exit, if INFO = 0, or INFO = 1, DWORK(1) returns the
          optimal value of LDWORK.

  LDWORK  INTEGER
          The length of the array DWORK.
          If M > 0, LDWORK >= MAX(1,4*N + MIN(M,N));
          If M = 0, LDWORK >= 1.
          For optimum performance LDWORK should sometimes be larger.

          If LDWORK = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the
          routine only calculates the optimal size of the DWORK
          array, returns this value as the first entry of the DWORK
          array, and no error message related to LDWORK is issued by
          XERBLA.

Error Indicator
  INFO    INTEGER
          = 0:  successful exit;
          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal
                value;
          = 1:  if the Lyapunov equation is (nearly) singular
                (warning indicator);
                if DICO = 'C' this means that while the matrix A
                (or the factor S) has computed eigenvalues with
                negative real parts, it is only just stable in the
                sense that small perturbations in A can make one or
                more of the eigenvalues have a non-negative real
                part;
                if DICO = 'D' this means that while the matrix A
                (or the factor S) has computed eigenvalues inside
                the unit circle, it is nevertheless only just
                convergent, in the sense that small perturbations
                in A can make one or more of the eigenvalues lie
                outside the unit circle;
                perturbed values were used to solve the equation;
          = 2:  if FACT = 'N' and DICO = 'C', but the matrix A is
                not stable (that is, one or more of the eigenvalues
                of A has a non-negative real part), or DICO = 'D',
                but the matrix A is not convergent (that is, one or
                more of the eigenvalues of A lies outside the unit
                circle); however, A will still have been factored
                and the eigenvalues of A returned in WR and WI.
          = 3:  if FACT = 'F' and DICO = 'C', but the Schur factor S
                supplied in the array A is not stable (that is, one
                or more of the eigenvalues of S has a non-negative
                real part), or DICO = 'D', but the Schur factor S
                supplied in the array A is not convergent (that is,
                one or more of the eigenvalues of S lies outside the
                unit circle);
          = 4:  if FACT = 'F' and the Schur factor S supplied in
                the array A has two or more consecutive non-zero
                elements on the first sub-diagonal, so that there is
                a block larger than 2-by-2 on the diagonal;
          = 5:  if FACT = 'F' and the Schur factor S supplied in
                the array A has a 2-by-2 diagonal block with real
                eigenvalues instead of a complex conjugate pair;
          = 6:  if FACT = 'N' and the LAPACK Library routine DGEES
                has failed to converge. This failure is not likely
                to occur. The matrix B will be unaltered but A will
                be destroyed.

Method
  The method used by the routine is based on the Bartels and Stewart
  method [1], except that it finds the upper triangular matrix U
  directly without first finding X and without the need to form the
  normal matrix op(B)'*op(B).

  The Schur factorization of a square matrix A is given by

     A = QSQ',

  where Q is orthogonal and S is an N-by-N block upper triangular
  matrix with 1-by-1 and 2-by-2 blocks on its diagonal (which
  correspond to the eigenvalues of A). If A has already been
  factored prior to calling the routine however, then the factors
  Q and S may be supplied and the initial factorization omitted.

  If TRANS = 'N', the matrix B is factored as (QR factorization)
         _   _                   _   _  _
     B = P ( R ),  M >= N,   B = P ( R  Z ),  M < N,
           ( 0 )
        _                                    _
  where P is an M-by-M orthogonal matrix and R is a square upper
                                      _   _      _     _  _
  triangular matrix. Then, the matrix B = RQ, or B = ( R  Z )Q (if
  M < N) is factored as
     _                       _
     B = P ( R ),  M >= N,   B = P ( R  Z ),  M < N.

  If TRANS = 'T', the matrix B is factored as (RQ factorization)
                                      _
              _   _                 ( Z ) _
     B = ( 0  R ) P,  M >= N,   B = ( _ ) P,  M < N,
                                    ( R )
        _                                    _
  where P is an M-by-M orthogonal matrix and R is a square upper
                                      _     _     _       _   _
  triangular matrix. Then, the matrix B = Q'R, or B = Q'( Z'  R' )'
  (if M < N) is factored as
     _                       _
     B = ( R ) P,  M >= N,   B = ( Z ) P,  M < N.
                                 ( R )

  These factorizations are utilised to either transform the
  continuous-time Lyapunov equation to the canonical form
                                                     2
    op(S)'*op(V)'*op(V) + op(V)'*op(V)*op(S) = -scale *op(F)'*op(F),

  or the discrete-time Lyapunov equation to the canonical form
                                                     2
    op(S)'*op(V)'*op(V)*op(S) - op(V)'*op(V) = -scale *op(F)'*op(F),

  where V and F are upper triangular, and

     F = R,  M >= N,   F = ( R  Z ),  M < N, if TRANS = 'N';
                           ( 0  0 )

     F = R,  M >= N,   F = ( 0  Z ),  M < N, if TRANS = 'T'.
                           ( 0  R )

  The transformed equation is then solved for V, from which U is
  obtained via the QR factorization of V*Q', if TRANS = 'N', or
  via the RQ factorization of Q*V, if TRANS = 'T'.

  The algorithm requires 0(N ) operations and is backward stable.

Further Comments
  The Lyapunov equation may be very ill-conditioned. In particular,
  if A is only just stable (or convergent) then the Lyapunov
  equation will be ill-conditioned.  A symptom of ill-conditioning
  is "large" elements in U relative to those of A and B, or a
  "small" value for scale. A condition estimate can be computed
  using SLICOT Library routine SB03MD.

  SB03OD routine can be also used for solving "unstable" Lyapunov
  equations, i.e., when matrix A has all eigenvalues with positive
  real parts, if DICO = 'C', or with moduli greater than one,
  if DICO = 'D'. Specifically, one may solve for X = op(U)'*op(U)
  either the continuous-time Lyapunov equation
                               2
     op(A)'*X + X*op(A) = scale *op(B)'*op(B),                   (3)

  or the discrete-time Lyapunov equation
                               2
     op(A)'*X*op(A) - X = scale *op(B)'*op(B),                   (4)

  provided, for equation (3), the given matrix A is replaced by -A,
  or, for equation (4), the given matrices A and B are replaced by
  inv(A) and B*inv(A), if TRANS = 'N' (or inv(A)*B, if TRANS = 'T'),
  respectively. Although the inversion generally can rise numerical
  problems, in case of equation (4) it is expected that the matrix A
  is enough well-conditioned, having only eigenvalues with moduli
  greater than 1. However, if A is ill-conditioned, it could be
  preferable to use the more general SLICOT Lyapunov solver SB03MD.
