eigenvalues/vectors of asymmetric matrix

Gang Yan 11 years ago updated by Pavel Holoborodko 11 years ago 1

I am using an old version (more than 2 years ago) and can not compute the eigenvalues/vectors of asymmetric matrix. I do not know whether it can be computed in the new version. If not, please develop one. Appreciate it!

I guess you refer to generalized eigenvalue problem: eig(A,B).

(we support usual case of eig(A) from day one).


Now toolbox is able to compute eig(A,B) for any matrices A and B in quadruple precision mode (34 digits):


>> mp.Digits(34);                

>> mp.GuardDigits(0);

>> format longG


>> A = mp(rand(100));

>> B = mp(rand(100));


>> tic; [V,D] = eig(A,B); toc;

Elapsed time is 1.6 seconds.


>> norm(A*V - B*V*D,1)

I am sure you will notice a huge difference in speed & functionality compared to an old version!
