test_eigen


test_eigen, a Fortran77 code which generates eigenvalue test.

The current version of the code can only generate a symmetric or nonsymmetric matrix of arbitrary size, with eigenvalues distributed according to a normal distribution whose mean and standard deviation are specified by the user (subroutines R8SYMM_GEN and R8NSYMM_GEN).
