I am having some problems with the Eigenvector[] call of Mathematica for a complex Hermitian matrix. The returned vectors seem to be incorrect. I found a strange comment in the help tool, telling me something like that Eigenvector[] finds the eigenvectors of an approximately real matrix, but the matrix elements can be complex. What does that mean? Thanks, Gerhard
