<PRE>
1. To compute the triangular (QR) factor of the p-by-L*s
structured matrix Q,
[ Q_1s Q_1,s-1 Q_1,s-2 ... Q_12 Q_11 ]
[ 0 Q_1s Q_1,s-1 ... Q_13 Q_12 ]
Q = [ 0 0 Q_1s ... Q_14 Q_13 ],
[ : : : : : ]
[ 0 0 0 ... 0 Q_1s ]
and apply the transformations to the p-by-m matrix Kexpand,
[ K_1 ]
[ K_2 ]
Kexpand = [ K_3 ],
[ : ]
[ K_s ]
where, for MOESP approach (METH = 'M'), p = s*(L*s-n), and
Q_1i = u2(L*(i-1)+1:L*i,:)' is (Ls-n)-by-L, for i = 1:s,
u2 = Un(1:L*s,n+1:L*s), K_i = K(:,(i-1)*m+1:i*m) (i = 1:s)
is (Ls-n)-by-m, and for N4SID approach (METH = 'N'), p = s*(n+L),
and
[ -L_1|1 ] [ M_i-1 - L_1|i ]
Q_11 = [ ], Q_1i = [ ], i = 2:s,
[ I_L - L_2|1 ] [ -L_2|i ]
are (n+L)-by-L matrices, and
K_i = K(:,(i-1)*m+1:i*m), i = 1:s, is (n+L)-by-m.
The given matrices are:
For METH = 'M', u2 = Un(1:L*s,n+1:L*s),
K(1:Ls-n,1:m*s);
[ L_1|1 ... L_1|s ]
For METH = 'N', L = [ ], (n+L)-by-L*s,
[ L_2|1 ... L_2|s ]
M = [ M_1 ... M_s-1 ], n-by-L*(s-1), and
K, (n+L)-by-m*s.
Matrix M is the pseudoinverse of the matrix GaL,
built from the first n relevant singular
vectors, GaL = Un(1:L(s-1),1:n), and computed
by SLICOT Library routine IB01PD for METH = 'N'.
Matrix Q is triangularized (in R), exploiting its structure,
and the transformations are applied from the left to Kexpand.
2. To estimate the matrices B and D of a linear time-invariant
(LTI) state space model, using the factor R, transformed matrix
Kexpand, and the singular value decomposition information provided
by other routines.
IB01PY routine is intended for speed and efficient use of the
memory space. It is generally not recommended for METH = 'N', as
IB01PX routine can produce more accurate results.

</PRE>
<B>Tolerances</B>
<PRE>
TOL DOUBLE PRECISION
The tolerance to be used for estimating the rank of
matrices. If the user sets TOL > 0, then the given value
of TOL is used as a lower bound for the reciprocal
condition number; an m-by-n matrix whose estimated
condition number is less than 1/TOL is considered to
be of full rank. If the user sets TOL <= 0, then an
implicitly computed, default tolerance, defined by
TOLDEF = m*n*EPS, is used instead, where EPS is the
relative machine precision (see LAPACK Library routine
DLAMCH).
This parameter is not used if M = 0 or JOB = 'N'.
</PRE>
<B>Workspace</B>
<PRE>
IWORK INTEGER array, dimension ( LIWORK )

LIWORK >= L*NOBR, if JOB <> 'N', and M > 0.
DWORK DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension ( LDWORK )
On exit, if INFO = 0, DWORK(1) returns the optimal value
of LDWORK, and, if JOB <> 'N', and M > 0, DWORK(2)
contains the reciprocal condition number of the triangular
factor of the matrix R.
On exit, if INFO = -28, DWORK(1) returns the minimum
value of LDWORK.
LDWORK INTEGER
The length of the array DWORK.
LDWORK >= MAX( 2*L, L*NOBR, L+M*NOBR ),
if JOB = 'N', or M = 0;
LDWORK >= MAX( L+M*NOBR, L*NOBR + MAX( 3*L*NOBR+1, M ) ),
if JOB <> 'N', and M > 0.
For good performance, LDWORK should be larger.
</PRE>
<B>Warning Indicator</B>
<PRE>
IWARN INTEGER
= 0: no warning;
= 4: the least squares problem to be solved has a
rank-deficient coefficient matrix.
</PRE>
<B>Error Indicator</B>
<PRE>
INFO INTEGER
= 0: successful exit;
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal
value;
= 3: a singular upper triangular matrix was found.

The implemented method for computing the triangular factor and
updating Kexpand is numerically stable.

<PRE>
The computed matrices B and D are not the least squares solutions
delivered by either MOESP or N4SID algorithms, except for the
special case n = s - 1, L = 1. However, the computed B and D are
frequently good enough estimates, especially for METH = 'M'.
Better estimates could be obtained by calling SLICOT Library
routine IB01PX, but it is less efficient, and requires much more
workspace.
