Hi,
I have a problem of calculating eigenvalues for a simple 4X4 matrix. I
am working on Sun workstation, and it takes minutes and minutes for
Mathematica to perform Eigenvalues[] operation for a matrix like this
Clear[a, b, c, d, e, d, f, g];
testmatrix = {{a, b, c, d}, {b, c, d, e}, {c, d, e, f}, {d, e, f, g}};
Eigenvalues[testmatrix];
I will need to work with much larger (symbolic) matrices with not that
simple entries. Has anyone had an experience of working with symbolic
matrices? Would it be better doing this in MatLab?
Any suggestions will be appreciated!
thanks a lot.
