function [retval,U] = is_stabilizable (a, b, tol)

# Usage: [retval,U] = is_stabilizable (a {, b, tol})
#
# Returns retval = 1 if the system, a, is stabilizable, if the pair (a, b) is 
# stabilizable, or 0 if not.
#         U = orthogonal basis of controllable subspace.
#
# Controllable subspace is determined by applying Arnoldi iteration with
# complete re-orthogonalization to obtain an orthogonal basis of the
# Krylov subspace.
#
#   span ([b,a*b,...,a^   b]).
#
# tol is a roundoff paramter, set to 200*eps if omitted.
