nlev - Leverrier's algorithm

### Calling Sequence

  `[num,den]=nlev(A,z [,rmax])`

### Parameters

- `A` : real square matrix
- `z` : character string
- `rmax` : optional parameter (see `bdiag` )

### Description

`[num,den]=nlev(A,z [,rmax])` computes `(z*eye()-A)^(-1)`

by block diagonalization of A followed by Leverrier's algorithm on each block.

This algorithm is better than the usual leverrier algorithm but still not perfect!

### Examples

    A=rand(3,3);x=poly(0,'x');
    [NUM,den]=nlev(A,'x')
    clean(den-poly(A,'x'))
    clean(NUM/den-inv(x*eye()-A))
