Purpose
  To solve for X the discrete-time Sylvester equation
     X + AXB = C,
  where A, B, C and X are general N-by-N, M-by-M, N-by-M and
  N-by-M matrices respectively. A Hessenberg-Schur method, which
  reduces A to upper Hessenberg form, H = U'AU, and B' to real
  Schur form, S = Z'B'Z (with U, Z orthogonal matrices), is used.

  N       (input) INTEGER
          The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
  M       (input) INTEGER
          The order of the matrix B.  M >= 0.
  A       (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDA,N)
          On entry, the leading N-by-N part of this array must
          contain the coefficient matrix A of the equation.
          On exit, the leading N-by-N upper Hessenberg part of this
          array contains the matrix H, and the remainder of the
          leading N-by-N part, together with the elements 2,3,...,N
          of array DWORK, contain the orthogonal transformation
          matrix U (stored in factored form).
  LDA     INTEGER
          The leading dimension of array A.  LDA >= MAX(1,N).
  B       (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDB,M)
          On entry, the leading M-by-M part of this array must
          contain the coefficient matrix B of the equation.
          On exit, the leading M-by-M part of this array contains
          the quasi-triangular Schur factor S of the matrix B'.
  LDB     INTEGER
          The leading dimension of array B.  LDB >= MAX(1,M).
  C       (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDC,M)
          On entry, the leading N-by-M part of this array must

          The leading dimension of array C.  LDC >= MAX(1,N).
  Z       (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDZ,M)
          The leading M-by-M part of this array contains the
          orthogonal matrix Z used to transform B' to real upper
          Schur form.
  LDZ     INTEGER
          The leading dimension of array Z.  LDZ >= MAX(1,M).
Workspace
  IWORK   INTEGER array, dimension (4*N)
  DWORK   DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDWORK)
          On exit, if INFO = 0, DWORK(1) returns the optimal value
          of LDWORK, and DWORK(2), DWORK(3),..., DWORK(N) contain
          the scalar factors of the elementary reflectors used to
          reduce A to upper Hessenberg form, as returned by LAPACK
          Library routine DGEHRD.
  LDWORK  INTEGER
          The length of the array DWORK.
          LDWORK = MAX(1, 2*N*N + 9*N, 5*M, N + M).
          For optimum performance LDWORK should be larger.
Error Indicator
  INFO    INTEGER
          = 0:  successful exit;
          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal
                value;
          > 0:  if INFO = i, 1 <= i <= M, the QR algorithm failed to
                compute all the eigenvalues of B (see LAPACK Library
                routine DGEES);
          > M:  if a singular matrix was encountered whilst solving
                for the (INFO-M)-th column of matrix X.
Method
  The matrix A is transformed to upper Hessenberg form H = U'AU by
  the orthogonal transformation matrix U; matrix B' is transformed
  to real upper Schur form S = Z'B'Z using the orthogonal
  transformation matrix Z. The matrix C is also multiplied by the
  transformations, F = U'CZ, and the solution matrix Y of the
  transformed system
     Y + HYS' = F
  is computed by back substitution. Finally, the matrix Y is then
  multiplied by the orthogonal transformation matrices, X = UYZ', in
  order to obtain the solution matrix X to the original problem.
