eig

Eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

Syntax

• e = eig(A)

• [V, D] = eig(A)

• e = eig(A, balanceOption)

• [V, D] = eig(A, balanceOption)

• e = eig(A, B)

• [V, D] = eig(A, B)

• e = eig(A, B, balanceOption)

• [V, D] = eig(A, B, balanceOption)

Input argument

• A - a numeric value: scalar or square matrix (double or single, complex or real)

• B - a numeric value: scalar or square matrix (double or single, complex or real)

• balanceOption - a string: 'nobalance' (disable preliminary balancing) or 'balance' (default).

Output argument

• e - real or complex number (double or single), Eigenvalues (returned as column vector).

• V - real or complex number (double or single), square right eigenvectors.

• D - real or complex number (double or single), Eigenvalues (returned as diagonal matrix).

Description

eig(A) returns the Eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

eig(A, B) returns the generalized Eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

Examples

A = [10 -20 40; -50 20 0; 10 0 30]
e = eig(A)
[V, D] = eig(A)

A = [1/sqrt(2) 0; 0 1];
B = [0 1; -1/sqrt(2) 0];
[V, D] = eig(A, B)
