The package eigen
contains several functions devoted to the
symbolic computation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
Maxima loads the package automatically if one of the functions
eigenvalues
or eigenvectors
is invoked.
The package may be loaded explicitly as load ("eigen")
.
demo ("eigen")
displays a demonstration of the capabilities
of this package.
batch ("eigen")
executes the same demonstration,
but without the user prompt between successive computations.
The functions in the eigen
package are:
innerproduct
, unitvector
, columnvector
,
gramschmidt
, eigenvalues
,
eigenvectors
, uniteigenvectors
, and
similaritytransform
.
