Hi,
you
"However, I found no mention of these options in the documentation "
???
Hmm .. Open the Help-Notebook for Eigensystem[] amd look into the
"Possible Issues" section and ... what is the last example ??
{vals, vecs} = Eigensystem[s, 3, Method -> {"Arnoldi", Shift -> -4}];
And if you type in
Eigensystem[{{1, 0}, {0, 1}}, Method -> "foo"]
what does Mathematica say
Eigensystem::emeth: "The method specified by Method -> "foo"
should be either Automatic or Arnoldi. "
Regards
Jens
