EISPACK: Eigenvalue Calculations

EISPACK is a library of routines for calculating the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix. A variety of options are available for special matrix formats.

EISPACK is old, and its functionality has been replaced by the more modern and efficient LAPACK.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.

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