EISPACK
Eigenvalue Calculations

EISPACK is a FORTRAN90 library which calculates the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix.

A variety of options are available for special matrix formats.

Note that EISPACK "simulates" complex arithmetic. That is, complex data is stored as pairs of real numbers, and complex arithmetic is done by carefully manipulating the real numbers.

EISPACK is old, and its functionality has been replaced by the more modern and efficient LAPACK. There are some advantages, not all sentimental, to keeping a copy of EISPACK around. For one thing, the implementation of the LAPACK routines makes it a trying task to try to comprehend the algorithm by reading the source code. A single user level routine may refer indirectly to thirty or forty others.

EISPACK includes a function to compute the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a rectangular matrix.

The pristine correct original source code for EISPACK is available through the NETLIB web site.

Languages:

EISPACK is available in a C version and a C++ version and a FORTRAN77 version and a FORTRAN90 version.
