Hi
It seems, that when I calculate the eigensystem of a complex Hermitian 
matrix, th eigenvectors get rotated automatically in such a way, that 
the highest absolute valued eigenvector component becomes real. Since I 
need the unrotated result, how do I switch off this feature?
Thanks for the help.
Best regards
Bettina
