ApCoCoA-1:Num.EigenValuesAndVectors

Numerical.EigenValuesAndVectors

Computes the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix

Syntax

Num.EigenValuesAndVectors(A:Matrix):[B:Matrix, C:Matrix, D:Matrix]

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.

This function returns a list of three matrices, containing numerical approximation to the eigenvalues of A and (right hand) eigenvectors.

• @param A A square matrix with rational entries.

• @return The output [B:Matrix, C:Matrix, D:Matrix] contains a matrix B, where each column contains one of A's eigenvalues. The first row contains the eigenvalue's real part, the second row the imaginary. The matrices C and D both have the same dimensions as A. Column j of matrix C contains the real part of the eigenvector corresponding to eigenvalue j and column j of matrix D contains the imaginary part of the eigenvector correspsonding to eigenvalue j.

To compute only the left hand eigenvectors apply this method to the transposed matrix of A.

Example

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