6. Check the stability of the closed-loop system with Cr(s). When the 
type="left perf" is specified, one works with
(4-11)
which is formed from the numerator and denominator of the MFD 
in Equat ion 4-5. The grammian equations (Equation 4-8 and 
Equation4-9) are replaced  by
redschur( )-type calculations are used to reduce E(s) and Equation 4-10 
again yields the reduced-order controller. Notice that the HSVs obtained 
from Equation 4-10 or the left MFD (Equation4-5) of C(s) will in general 
be quite different from those coming from the right MFD (Equation 4-6). It 
may be possible to reduce much more with the left MFD than with the right 
MFD (or vice-versa) before closed-loop stability is lost. 
As noted in the fracred( ) input listing, type="left stab" and 
"right stab" focus on a stability robustness measure, in conjunction 
with Equation 4-5 and Equation4-6, respectively. Leaving aside for the 
moment the explanation, the key differences in the algorithm computations 
lie solely in the calculation of the grammians P and Q. For type="left 
stab", these are given by
and for "right stab",
