SLICOT - Subroutine Library In COntrol Theory - is a general purpose basic mathematical library for control theoretical computations. The library provides tools to perform essential system analysis and synthesis tasks. The main emphasis in SLICOT is on numerical reliability of implemented algorithms and the numerical robustness and efficiency of routines. Providing algorithmic flexibility and the use of rigorous implementation and documentation standards are other SLICOT features. The SLICOT Library is available as standard Fortran 77 code in double precision. Each user-callable subroutine for control computations is accompanied by an example program which illustrates the use of the subroutine and can act as a template for the user's own routines.
