nblcks

is the number of submatrices having full row rank >= 0 detected in matrix A.

muk:

integer array of dimension (n). Contains the column dimensions mu(k) (k=1,...,nblcks) of the submatrices having full column rank in the pencil sE(eps)-A(eps)

nuk:

integer array of dimension (m+1). Contains the row dimensions nu(k) (k=1,...,nblcks) of the submatrices having full row rank in the pencil sE(eps)-A(eps)

muk0:

integer array of dimension (n). Contains the column dimensions mu(k) (k=1,...,nblcks) of the submatrices having full column rank in the pencil sE(eps,inf)-A(eps,inf)

nuk:

integer array of dimension (m+1). Contains the row dimensions nu(k) (k=1,...,nblcks) of the submatrices having full row rank in the pencil sE(eps,inf)-A(eps,inf)

mnei:

integer array of dimension (4). mnei(1) = row dimension of sE(eps)-A(eps)

Description

Given a pencil sE-A where matrix E is in column echelon form the function fstair computes according to the wishes of the user a unitary transformed pencil QE(sEE-AE)ZE which is more or less similar to the generalized Schur form of the pencil sE-A. The function yields also part of the Kronecker structure of the given pencil.

Q,Z are the unitary matrices used to compute the pencil where E is in column echelon form (see ereduc)
