Hi, if the vector v solves the equation A.v== lambda v will also q*v with any scalar >0 solve the equation ?? and will this be true for q=1 as well as q=-1 ?? and is the order od the eigenvectors not arbitrary ? The most system sort the eigenvectors by the absolute value of the eigenvalues but there may be multiple eigenvalues or eigenvalues with opposite sign ... and than the order ist still arbitrary.
