**ZGEDMD** computes the Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) for a pair of data snapshot matrices.

**Purpose:**

```
!>    ZGEDMD computes the Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) for
!>    a pair of data snapshot matrices. For the input matrices
!>    X and Y such that Y = A*X with an unaccessible matrix
!>    A, ZGEDMD computes a certain number of Ritz pairs of A using
!>    the standard Rayleigh-Ritz extraction from a subspace of
!>    range(X) that is determined using the leading left singular
!>    vectors of X. Optionally, ZGEDMD returns the residuals
!>    of the computed Ritz pairs, the information needed for
!>    a refinement of the Ritz vectors, or the eigenvectors of
!>    the Exact DMD.
!>    For further details see the references listed
!>    below. For more details of the implementation see [3].

!>    'Y' :: The data snapshots matrices X and Y are multiplied
!>           by a diagonal matrix D so that Y*D has unit
!>           nonzero columns (in the Euclidean 2-norm)

!>
```

!>    Determines whether the eigenvectors (Koopman modes) will
!>    be computed.
!>    'V' :: The eigenvectors (Koopman modes) will be computed

!>    Determines whether to compute the residuals.
!>    'R' :: The residuals for the computed eigenpairs will be
!>           computed and stored in the array RES.

!>    WHTSVD (input) INTEGER, WHSTVD in { 1, 2, 3, 4 }
!>    Allows for a selection of the SVD algorithm from the
!>    LAPACK library.
!>    1 :: ZGESVD (the QR SVD algorithm)
!>    2 :: ZGESDD (the Divide and Conquer algorithm; if enough
!>         workspace available, this is the fastest option)
!>    3 :: ZGESVDQ (the preconditioned QR SVD  ; this and 4
!>         are the most accurate options)
!>    4 :: ZGEJSV (the preconditioned Jacobi SVD; this and 3
!>         are the most accurate options)
!>    For the four methods above, a significant difference in
!>    the accuracy of small singular values is possible if
!>    the snapshots vary in norm so that X is severely
!>    ill-conditioned. If small (smaller than EPS*||X||)
!>    singular values are of interest and JOBS=='N',  then
!>    the options (3, 4) give the most accurate results, where
!>    the option 4 is slightly better and with stronger
!>    theoretical background.
!>    If JOBS=='S', i.e. the columns of X will be normalized,
!>    then all methods give nearly equally accurate results.
!>
```

*M*

```

!>                 if sigma(i) <= TOL*sigma(1)
!>                 This option is recommended.
!>    NRNK = -2 :: i-th singular value sigma(i) is truncated
!>                 if sigma(i) <= TOL*sigma(i-1)
!>                 This option is included for R&D purposes.
!>                 It requires highly accurate SVD, which
!>                 may not be feasible.
!>    The numerical rank can be enforced by using positive
!>    value of NRNK as follows:
!>    0 < NRNK <= N :: at most NRNK largest singular values
!>    will be used. If the number of the computed nonzero
!>    singular values is less than NRNK, then only those
!>    nonzero values will be used and the actually used
!>    dimension is less than NRNK. The actual number of
