Numerical.EigenValuesAndAllVectors

eigenvalues and left and right eigenvectors of a matrix

Syntax

$numerical.EigenValues(A:Matrix):List

Description

Please note: The function(s) explained on this page is/are using the ApCoCoAServer. You will have to start the ApCoCoAServer in order to use

it/them. Please also note that you will have to use an ApCoCoAServer with enabled BLAS/LAPACK support.

This function returns a List of three matrices, containing numerical approximation to A's eigenvalues and right and left eigenvectors.

Therefore the input matrix A has to be rectangular!

It is implemented in the ApCoCoA server, so you need a running server. It was not implemented in version 0.99.4 or previous. Also please keep in mind this method is based on blas/Lapack's eigenvalue solver and uses floating point arithmetic. This is not an exact, algebraic method! The output list contains first a matrix B. Each row of B describe one of A's eigenvalues. The first column contains the eigenvalue's real part, the second the imaginary. The second element of the list is a matrix of the size of A, containing A's left hand eigenvectors, while the third element in the list is a matrix containing the right hand eigenvectors. Column j contains the eigenvector corresponding to eigenvalue j if the imaginary part of j is zero. If eigenvalue j had also an imaginary part, then eigenvalue j+1 is the complex conjugate of j and the eigenvector of j is composed of the real part stored in column j and the imaginary part stored in column j+1. The eigenvector of j+1 is the complex conjugate of eigenvector j.

Example

A:=Mat([[1,2,7,18],[2,4,9,12],[23,8,9,10],[7,5,3,2]]);
