## @deftypefnx {Function File} {[@var{retval}, @var{u}] =} is_controllable (@var{a}, @var{b}, @var{tol})
## Logical check for system controllability.
##
## @strong{Inputs}
## @table @var
## @item sys
## system data structure
## @item a
## @itemx b
## @var{n} by @var{n}, @var{n} by @var{m} matrices, respectively
## @item tol
## optional roundoff parameter.  Default value: @code{10*eps}
## @end table
##
## @strong{Outputs}
## @table @var
## @item retval
## Logical flag; returns true (1) if the system @var{sys} or the
## pair (@var{a}, @var{b}) is controllable, whichever was passed as input
## arguments.
## @item u
## @var{u} is an orthogonal basis of the controllable subspace.
## @end table
##
## @strong{Method}
## Controllability is determined by applying Arnoldi iteration with
## complete re-orthogonalization to obtain an orthogonal basis of the
## Krylov subspace
## @example
## span ([b,a*b,...,a^@{n-1@}*b]).
## @end example
## The Arnoldi iteration is executed with @code{krylov} if the system
## has a single input; otherwise a block Arnoldi iteration is performed
## with @code{krylovb}.
