eigenvalues_general_matrix (Operator)
eigenvalues_general_matrix
— Compute the eigenvalues and optionally the eigenvectors of a general
matrix.
Signature
eigenvalues_general_matrix( : : MatrixID, ComputeEigenvectors : EigenvaluesRealID, EigenvaluesImagID, EigenvectorsRealID, EigenvectorsImagID)
Description
The operator eigenvalues_general_matrix
computes all
eigenvalues and, optionally, the left or right eigenvectors of a
square, general Matrix
. The matrix is defined by the
matrix handle MatrixID
. The computed eigenvectors have the
norm 1.
The operator generates the new matrices EigenvaluesReal
and EigenvaluesImag
with the real and the imaginary parts
of the computed eigenvalues. Each matrix has one column and n
rows, where n is the number of rows of the input Matrix
.
In contrast to the operator eigenvalues_symmetric_matrix
,
the order of the eigenvalues is not defined.
The operator returns the matrix handles EigenvaluesRealID
and EigenvaluesImagID
. If desired, the real and imaginary
parts of the computed eigenvectors are stored in the new matrices
EigenvectorsReal
and EigenvectorsImag
. For
this, the operator returns valid matrix handles
EigenvectorsRealID
and EigenvectorsImagID
.
Access to the elements of the matrix is possible e.g., with the
operator get_full_matrix
.
The computation type of eigenvectors can be selected via the
parameter ComputeEigenvectors
. If
ComputeEigenvectors
= 'none' , no eigenvectors are
computed. If 'left' is selected, the left eigenvalues are
computed. If 'right' is selected, the right eigenvalues are
computed.
Example:
ComputeEigenvectors
= 'right'
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
Parameters
MatrixID
(input_control) matrix →
(handle)
Matrix handle of the input matrix.
ComputeEigenvectors
(input_control) string →
(string)
Computation of the eigenvectors.
Default: 'none'
List of values: 'left' , 'none' , 'right'
EigenvaluesRealID
(output_control) matrix →
(handle)
Matrix handle with the real parts of the eigenvalues.
EigenvaluesImagID
(output_control) matrix →
(handle)
Matrix handle with the imaginary parts of the eigenvalues.
EigenvectorsRealID
(output_control) matrix →
(handle)

Result
If the parameters are valid, the operator
eigenvalues_general_matrix
returns the value 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
. If
necessary, an exception is raised.
