eigenvectors(...,Hermitian=>...) -- whether to assume the matrix is symmetric or Hermitian
-
- Usage:
eigenvectors(M, Hermitian=>true)
-
Consequences:
- The resulting list of eigenvalues is defined over RR, not CC, and, if the original matrix is defined over RR, the matrix of eigenvalues is too.
Caveat
The internal routine uses a different algorithm, only considering the upper triangular elements. So if the matrix is not symmetric or Hermitian, the routine will give incorrect results.
Functions with optional argument named Hermitian:

- Function: eigenvectors -- find eigenvectors of a matrix over real or complex numbers
