Hi Miguel,
There are several problems with your program, but the main culprit is
the unnecessary MatrixForm command in the assignment to A (it's used
for formatting matrices for printing and not for calculations). Strip
that away and you're OK. 'Evaluate' is not necessary.
Constructions like:
A2 = {0};
Do[A2 = Append[A2, -LAMDA], {m - 1}];
A2 = Drop[A2, 1];
can be done much simpler like this:
A2 = Table[ -LAMDA, {m - 1}];
or
A2 = ConstantArray[ -LAMDA,m-1]
Cheers -- Sjoerd
