Benchmark collections in SLICOT
Volker Mehrmann and Thilo Penzl
SLICOT Working Note 1998-5, June 1998.
This paper contains guidelines for setting up benchmark collections for SLICOT. The purpose of these SLICOT benchmark collections is to establish an environment for testing the subroutines within the SLICOT library and compare their performance with other numerical software. Guidelines for the submission of benchmark examples by external contributors are given, as well as guidelines for the implementation of benchmark routines within SLICOT.
Standardization of Interface for Nonlinear Systems Software in SLICOT
Andras Varga
SLICOT Working Note 1998-4, June 1998.
This paper discusses the development of standardized Fortran interfaces for the description of nonlinear systems to allow an easy interfacing with standard software for integration of differential equations, nonlinear programming and solving nonlinear equations. These interfaces are used too for nonlinear systems software in SLICOT and will be developed as part of the NICONET project.
Task I.A.1 - Selection of Basic Software Tools for Standard and Generalized State-Space Systems and Transfer Matrix Factorizations.
Andras Varga
SLICOT Working Note 1998-3, June 1998.
This paper discusses the algorithms and software for basis control problems, for the factorization of proper transfer function matrices, and for descriptor systems which are to be included in the SLICOT library. This task is executed as part of the NICONET project.
Task II.A.1 - Selection of Model Reduction Routines
Andras Varga
SLICOT Working Note 1998-2, June 1998.
This paper discusses the model reduction algorithms which are to be included in the SLICOT library. This task is executed as part of thr NICONET project.
SLICOT - A Subroutine Library in Systems and Control Theory
P. Benner, V. Mehrmann, V. Sima, S. Van Huffel and A. Varga
This article describes the subroutine library SLICOT that provides Fortran 77 implementations of numerical algorithms for computations in systems and control theory. Around a nucleus of basic numerical linear algebra subroutines, this library builds methods for the design and analysis of linear control systems. A brief history of the library is given together with a description of the current version of the library and the on-going activities to complete and improve the library in several aspects
