ApCoCoA-1:Num.EigenValues

Numerical.EigenValues

eigenvalues of a matrix

Syntax

$numerical.EigenValues(A:Matrix):List

Description

This function returns a matrix, containing numerical approximation to A's eigenvalues.

Therefore the input matrix A has to be quadratic!

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 contains a matrix B. Each of the columns in B describe one of the eigenvalues of A. The first row of B contains the real part of the eigenvalues, the second row the imaginary ones.

Example

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