## Function Documentation

### subroutine cggesx (character jobvsl, character jobvsr, character sort, external selctg, character sense, integer n, complex, dimension( lda, \* ) a, integer lda, complex, dimension( ldb, \* ) b, integer ldb, integer sdim, complex, dimension( \* ) alpha, complex, dimension( \* ) beta, complex, dimension( ldvsl, \* ) vsl, integer ldvsl, complex, dimension( ldvsr, \* ) vsr, integer ldvsr, real, dimension( 2 ) rconde, real, dimension( 2 ) rcondv, complex, dimension( \* ) work, integer lwork, real, dimension( \* ) rwork, integer, dimension( \* ) iwork, integer liwork, logical, dimension( \* ) bwork, integer info)

 **CGGESX computes the eigenvalues, the Schur form, and, optionally, the matrix of Schur vectors for GE matrices**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> CGGESX computes for a pair of N-by-N complex nonsymmetric matrices
!> (A,B), the generalized eigenvalues, the complex Schur form (S,T),
!> and, optionally, the left and/or right matrices of Schur vectors (VSL
!> and VSR).  This gives the generalized Schur factorization
!>
!>      (A,B) = ( (VSL) S (VSR)**H, (VSL) T (VSR)**H )
!>
!> where (VSR)**H is the conjugate-transpose of VSR.
!>
!> Optionally, it also orders the eigenvalues so that a selected cluster
!> of eigenvalues appears in the leading diagonal blocks of the upper
!> triangular matrix S and the upper triangular matrix T; computes
!> a reciprocal condition number for the average of the selected
!> eigenvalues (RCONDE); and computes a reciprocal condition number for
!> the right and left deflating subspaces corresponding to the selected
!> eigenvalues (RCONDV). The leading columns of VSL and VSR then form
!> an orthonormal basis for the corresponding left and right eigenspaces
!> (deflating subspaces).
!>
!> A generalized eigenvalue for a pair of matrices (A,B) is a scalar w
!> or a ratio alpha/beta = w, such that  A - w*B is singular.  It is
!> usually represented as the pair (alpha,beta), as there is a
!> reasonable interpretation for beta=0 or for both being zero.
!>
!> A pair of matrices (S,T) is in generalized complex Schur form if T is
!> upper triangular with non-negative diagonal and S is upper
!> triangular.
!>
```

!>          Note that a selected complex eigenvalue may no longer satisfy
!>          SELCTG(ALPHA(j),BETA(j)) = .TRUE. after ordering, since
!>          ordering may change the value of complex eigenvalues
!>          (especially if the eigenvalue is ill-conditioned), in this
!>          case INFO is set to N+3 see INFO below).

```

!>          the diagonals of the complex Schur form (S,T).  BETA(j) will
!>          be non-negative real.
!>
!>          Note: the quotients ALPHA(j)/BETA(j) may easily over- or

!>          If LWORK = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the routine

!>          LIWORK >= N+2.
!>
!>          If LIWORK = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the
!>          routine only calculates the bound on the optimal size of the
!>          WORK array and the minimum size of the IWORK array, returns
!>          these values as the first entries of the WORK and IWORK

!>          > N:  =N+1: other than QZ iteration failed in CHGEQZ
!>                =N+2: after reordering, roundoff changed values of

!>                      eigenvalues in the Generalized Schur form no
!>                      longer satisfy SELCTG=.TRUE.  This could also
!>                      be caused due to scaling.
!>                =N+3: reordering failed in CTGSEN.

### subroutine sggesx (character jobvsl, character jobvsr, character sort, external selctg, character sense, integer n, real, dimension( lda, \* ) a, integer lda, real, dimension( ldb, \* ) b, integer ldb, integer sdim, real, dimension( \* ) alphar, real, dimension( \* ) alphai, real, dimension( \* ) beta, real, dimension( ldvsl, \* ) vsl, integer ldvsl, real, dimension( ldvsr, \* ) vsr, integer ldvsr, real, dimension( 2 ) rconde, real, dimension( 2 ) rcondv, real, dimension( \* ) work, integer lwork, integer, dimension( \* ) iwork, integer liwork, logical, dimension( \* ) bwork, integer info)

 **SGGESX computes the eigenvalues, the Schur form, and, optionally, the matrix of Schur vectors for GE matrices**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> SGGESX computes for a pair of N-by-N real nonsymmetric matrices
!> (A,B), the generalized eigenvalues, the real Schur form (S,T), and,
!> optionally, the left and/or right matrices of Schur vectors (VSL and
!> VSR).  This gives the generalized Schur factorization
!>
!>      (A,B) = ( (VSL) S (VSR)**T, (VSL) T (VSR)**T )
!>
!> Optionally, it also orders the eigenvalues so that a selected cluster
!> of eigenvalues appears in the leading diagonal blocks of the upper
!> quasi-triangular matrix S and the upper triangular matrix T; computes
!> a reciprocal condition number for the average of the selected
!> eigenvalues (RCONDE); and computes a reciprocal condition number for
!> the right and left deflating subspaces corresponding to the selected
!> eigenvalues (RCONDV). The leading columns of VSL and VSR then form
!> an orthonormal basis for the corresponding left and right eigenspaces
!> (deflating subspaces).
!>
!> A generalized eigenvalue for a pair of matrices (A,B) is a scalar w
!> or a ratio alpha/beta = w, such that  A - w*B is singular.  It is
!> usually represented as the pair (alpha,beta), as there is a
!> reasonable interpretation for beta=0 or for both being zero.
!>
!> A pair of matrices (S,T) is in generalized real Schur form if T is
!> upper triangular with non-negative diagonal and S is block upper
!> triangular with 1-by-1 and 2-by-2 blocks.  1-by-1 blocks correspond
!> to real generalized eigenvalues, while 2-by-2 blocks of S will be
!>  by making the corresponding elements of T have the
!> form:
!>         [  a  0  ]
!>         [  0  b  ]
!>
!> and the pair of corresponding 2-by-2 blocks in S and T will have a
!> complex conjugate pair of generalized eigenvalues.
!>
!>
```

**Parameters**

!>          If SORT = 'S', SELCTG is used to select eigenvalues to sort
!>          to the top left of the Schur form.
!>          An eigenvalue (ALPHAR(j)+ALPHAI(j))/BETA(j) is selected if
!>          SELCTG(ALPHAR(j),ALPHAI(j),BETA(j)) is true; i.e. if either
!>          one of a complex conjugate pair of eigenvalues is selected,
!>          then both complex eigenvalues are selected.
!>          Note that a selected complex eigenvalue may no longer satisfy
!>          SELCTG(ALPHAR(j),ALPHAI(j),BETA(j)) = .TRUE. after ordering,
!>          since ordering may change the value of complex eigenvalues

!>          the real Schur form of (A,B) were further reduced to
!>          triangular form using 2-by-2 complex unitary transformations.

### subroutine zggesx (character jobvsl, character jobvsr, character sort, external selctg, character sense, integer n, complex\*16, dimension( lda, \* ) a, integer lda, complex\*16, dimension( ldb, \* ) b, integer ldb, integer sdim, complex\*16, dimension( \* ) alpha, complex\*16, dimension( \* ) beta, complex\*16, dimension( ldvsl, \* ) vsl, integer ldvsl, complex\*16, dimension( ldvsr, \* ) vsr, integer ldvsr, double precision, dimension( 2 ) rconde, double precision, dimension( 2 ) rcondv, complex\*16, dimension( \* ) work, integer lwork, double precision, dimension( \* ) rwork, integer, dimension( \* ) iwork, integer liwork, logical, dimension( \* ) bwork, integer info)

 **ZGGESX computes the eigenvalues, the Schur form, and, optionally, the matrix of Schur vectors for GE matrices**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> ZGGESX computes for a pair of N-by-N complex nonsymmetric matrices
!> (A,B), the generalized eigenvalues, the complex Schur form (S,T),
!> and, optionally, the left and/or right matrices of Schur vectors (VSL
!> and VSR).  This gives the generalized Schur factorization
!>
!>      (A,B) = ( (VSL) S (VSR)**H, (VSL) T (VSR)**H )
!>
!> where (VSR)**H is the conjugate-transpose of VSR.
!>
!> Optionally, it also orders the eigenvalues so that a selected cluster
!> of eigenvalues appears in the leading diagonal blocks of the upper
!> triangular matrix S and the upper triangular matrix T; computes
!> a reciprocal condition number for the average of the selected
!> eigenvalues (RCONDE); and computes a reciprocal condition number for
!> the right and left deflating subspaces corresponding to the selected
!> eigenvalues (RCONDV). The leading columns of VSL and VSR then form
!> an orthonormal basis for the corresponding left and right eigenspaces
!> (deflating subspaces).
!>
!> A generalized eigenvalue for a pair of matrices (A,B) is a scalar w
!> or a ratio alpha/beta = w, such that  A - w*B is singular.  It is
!> usually represented as the pair (alpha,beta), as there is a
!> reasonable interpretation for beta=0 or for both being zero.
!>
!> A pair of matrices (S,T) is in generalized complex Schur form if T is
!> upper triangular with non-negative diagonal and S is upper
!> triangular.

!>                      longer satisfy SELCTG=.TRUE.  This could also
