PURPOSE
     CGEGV computes for a pair of N-by-N complex nonsymmetric matrices A and
     B, the generalized eigenvalues (alpha, beta), and optionally, the left
     and/or right generalized eigenvectors (VL and VR).

     A generalized eigenvalue for a pair of matrices (A,B) is, roughly
     speaking, a scalar w or a ratio  alpha/beta = w, such that  A - w*B is
     singular.  It is usually represented as the pair (alpha,beta), as there
     is a reasonable interpretation for beta=0, and even for both being zero.
     A good beginning reference is the book, "Matrix Computations", by G.

     A right generalized eigenvector corresponding to a generalized eigenvalue
     w  for a pair of matrices (A,B) is a vector  r  such that  (A - w B) r =
     0 .  A left generalized eigenvector is a vector l such that l**H * (A - w
     B) = 0, where l**H is the
     conjugate-transpose of l.

     Note: this routine performs "full balancing" on A and B -- see "Further
     Details", below.

ARGUMENTS
     JOBVL   (input) CHARACTER*1
             = 'N':  do not compute the left generalized eigenvectors;
             = 'V':  compute the left generalized eigenvectors.

     JOBVR   (input) CHARACTER*1
             = 'N':  do not compute the right generalized eigenvectors;
             = 'V':  compute the right generalized eigenvectors.

     N       (input) INTEGER
             The order of the matrices A, B, VL, and VR.  N >= 0.

     A       (input/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA, N)
             On entry, the first of the pair of matrices whose generalized
             eigenvalues and (optionally) generalized eigenvectors are to be
             computed.  On exit, the contents will have been destroyed.  (For
             a description of the contents of A on exit, see "Further
             Details", below.)

     LDA     (input) INTEGER
             The leading dimension of A.  LDA >= max(1,N).

     B       (input/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDB, N)
             On entry, the second of the pair of matrices whose generalized
             eigenvalues and (optionally) generalized eigenvectors are to be
             computed.  On exit, the contents will have been destroyed.  (For
             a description of the contents of B on exit, see "Further
             Details", below.)

     LDB     (input) INTEGER
             The leading dimension of B.  LDB >= max(1,N).

     ALPHA   (output) COMPLEX array, dimension (N)
             BETA    (output) COMPLEX array, dimension (N) On exit,
             ALPHA(j)/BETA(j), j=1,...,N, will be the generalized eigenvalues.

             Note: the quotients ALPHA(j)/BETA(j) may easily over- or
             underflow, and BETA(j) may even be zero.  Thus, the user should
             avoid naively computing the ratio alpha/beta.  However, ALPHA
             will be always less than and usually comparable with norm(A) in
             magnitude, and BETA always less than and usually comparable with
             norm(B).

     VL      (output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDVL,N)
             If JOBVL = 'V', the left generalized eigenvectors.  (See
             "Purpose", above.)  Each eigenvector will be scaled so the
             largest component will have abs(real part) + abs(imag. part) = 1,
             *except* that for eigenvalues with alpha=beta=0, a zero vector
             will be returned as the corresponding eigenvector.  Not
             referenced if JOBVL = 'N'.

     LDVL    (input) INTEGER
             The leading dimension of the matrix VL. LDVL >= 1, and if JOBVL =
             'V', LDVL >= N.

     VR      (output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDVR,N)
             If JOBVL = 'V', the right generalized eigenvectors.  (See
             "Purpose", above.)  Each eigenvector will be scaled so the
             largest component will have abs(real part) + abs(imag. part) = 1,
             *except* that for eigenvalues with alpha=beta=0, a zero vector
             will be returned as the corresponding eigenvector.  Not
             referenced if JOBVR = 'N'.

     LDVR    (input) INTEGER
             The leading dimension of the matrix VR. LDVR >= 1, and if JOBVR =
             'V', LDVR >= N.

     WORK    (workspace/output) COMPLEX array, dimension (LWORK)
             On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK.

     LWORK   (input) INTEGER
             The dimension of the array WORK.  LWORK >= max(1,2*N).  For good
             performance, LWORK must generally be larger.  To compute the
             optimal value of LWORK, call ILAENV to get blocksizes (for
             CGEQRF, CUNMQR, and CUNGQR.)  Then compute:  NB  -- MAX of the
             blocksizes for CGEQRF, CUNMQR, and CUNGQR; The optimal LWORK is
             MAX( 2*N, N*(NB+1) ).

     RWORK   (workspace/output) REAL array, dimension (8*N)

     INFO    (output) INTEGER
             = 0:  successful exit
             < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value.
             =1,...,N:  The QZ iteration failed.  No eigenvectors have been
             calculated, but ALPHA(j) and BETA(j) should be correct for
             j=INFO+1,...,N.  > N:  errors that usually indicate LAPACK
             problems:
             =N+1: error return from CGGBAL
             =N+2: error return from CGEQRF
             =N+3: error return from CUNMQR
             =N+4: error return from CUNGQR
             =N+5: error return from CGGHRD
             =N+6: error return from CHGEQZ (other than failed iteration)
             =N+7: error return from CTGEVC
             =N+8: error return from CGGBAK (computing VL)
             =N+9: error return from CGGBAK (computing VR)
             =N+10: error return from CLASCL (various calls)

FURTHER DETAILS
     Balancing
     ---------

     This driver calls CGGBAL to both permute and scale rows and columns of A
     and B.  The permutations PL and PR are chosen so that PL*A*PR and PL*B*R
     will be upper triangular except for the diagonal blocks A(i:j,i:j) and
     B(i:j,i:j), with i and j as close together as possible.  The diagonal
     scaling matrices DL and DR are chosen so that the pair  DL*PL*A*PR*DR,
     DL*PL*B*PR*DR have elements close to one (except for the elements that
     start out zero.)

     After the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the balanced matrices have been
     computed, CGGBAK transforms the eigenvectors back to what they would have
     been (in perfect arithmetic) if they had not been balanced.

     Contents of A and B on Exit
     -------- -- - --- - -- ----

     If any eigenvectors are computed (either JOBVL='V' or JOBVR='V' or both),
     then on exit the arrays A and B will contain the complex Schur form[*] of
     the "balanced" versions of A and B.  If no eigenvectors are computed,
     then only the diagonal blocks will be correct.

     [*] In other words, upper triangular form.
