## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{retval} =} is_stabilizable (@var{a}, @var{b}, @var{tol}, @var{dflg})
## Logical check for system stabilizability (i.e., all unstable modes are controllable). 
## Returns 1 if the system is stabilizable, 0 if the system is not stabilizable, -1 
## if the system has non stabilizable modes at the imaginary axis (unit circle for 
## discrete-time systems.
##
## Test for stabilizability is performed via Hautus Lemma. If
