Should the Imam perform the prostration of recitation (sajdat al-tilawah) if he recites an ayah of prostration after Al-Fatiha in the Dhuhr prayer, and how would he inform the congregants of this?

The Imam and those praying behind him prostrate if the Imam recites a verse of prostration in a silent prayer. Some jurists are of the opinion that it is disliked to recite a verse of prostration in a silent prayer due to the confusion it may cause the congregants.
