In these applications it is necessary to compute certain eigenvalues and/or corresponding deflating subspaces of these matrix pencils. Recently developed methods exploit and preserve the skew-Hamiltonian/Hamiltonian structure and hence increase the reliability, accuracy, and performance of the computations. In this article we describe the corresponding algorithms which have been implemented in the style of subroutines of the Subroutine Library in Control Theory (SLICOT). Furthermore we address some of their applications. We describe variants for real and complex problems as well as implementation details and perform numerical tests using real-world examples to demonstrate the superiority of the new algorithms compared to standard methods.", }
