@deftypefn {} {@var{X} =} sylvester (@var{A}, @var{B}, @var{C})
Solve the Sylvester equation.
 
The Sylvester equation is defined as:
@tex
$$
 A X + X B = C
$$
@end tex
@ifnottex
 
@example
A X + X B = C
@end example
 
@end ifnottex
The solution is computed using standard @sc{lapack} subroutines.
 
For example:
 
@example
@group
sylvester ([1, 2; 3, 4], [5, 6; 7, 8], [9, 10; 11, 12])
   @result{} [ 0.50000, 0.66667; 0.66667, 0.50000 ]
@end group
@end example
@end deftypefn */)
