Detailed Description

template<typename MatrixType_>
class Eigen::EigenSolver< MatrixType_ >

Computes eigenvalues and eigenvectors of general matrices.

This is defined in the Eigenvalues module.

#include <Eigen/Eigenvalues>

Template Parameters

MatrixType_ the type of the matrix of which we are computing the eigendecomposition; this is expected to be an instantiation of the Matrix class template. Currently, only real matrices are supported.

The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix are scalars $\lambda$ and vectors such that $Av = \lambda v$ . If is a diagonal matrix with the eigenvalues on the diagonal, and is a matrix with the eigenvectors as its columns, then . The matrix is almost always invertible, in which case we have $A = V D V^{-1}$ . This is called the eigendecomposition.

The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix may be complex, even when the matrix is real. However, we can choose real matrices and satisfying , just like the eigendecomposition, if the matrix is not required to be diagonal, but if it is allowed to have blocks of the form

$\begin{bmatrix} u & v \\ -v & u \end{bmatrix}$

(where and are real numbers) on the diagonal. These blocks correspond to complex eigenvalue pairs $u \pm iv$ . We call this variant of the eigendecomposition the pseudo-eigendecomposition.

Call the function compute() to compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a given matrix. Alternatively, you can use the EigenSolver(const MatrixType&, bool) constructor which computes the eigenvalues and eigenvectors at construction time. Once the eigenvalue and eigenvectors are computed, they can be retrieved with the eigenvalues() and eigenvectors() functions. The pseudoEigenvalueMatrix() and pseudoEigenvectors() methods allow the construction of the pseudo-eigendecomposition.

The documentation for EigenSolver(const MatrixType&, bool) contains an example of the typical use of this class.

Note: The implementation is adapted from JAMA (public domain). Their code is based on EISPACK.

◆ compute()

template<typename MatrixType_>

template<typename InputType>

EigenSolver & Eigen::EigenSolver< MatrixType_ >::compute	(	const EigenBase< InputType > &	matrix,
		bool	computeEigenvectors = true )

Computes eigendecomposition of given matrix.

Parameters

[in]	matrix	Square matrix whose eigendecomposition is to be computed.
[in]	computeEigenvectors	If true, both the eigenvectors and the eigenvalues are computed; if false, only the eigenvalues are computed.

Returns: Reference to *this

This function computes the eigenvalues of the real matrix matrix. The eigenvalues() function can be used to retrieve them. If computeEigenvectors is true, then the eigenvectors are also computed and can be retrieved by calling eigenvectors().

The matrix is first reduced to real Schur form using the RealSchur class. The Schur decomposition is then used to compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

The cost of the computation is dominated by the cost of the Schur decomposition, which is very approximately (where is the size of the matrix) if computeEigenvectors is true, and if computeEigenvectors is false.

This method reuses of the allocated data in the EigenSolver object.

Example:

EigenSolver<MatrixXf> es;
MatrixXf A = MatrixXf::Random(4, 4);
es.compute(A, /* computeEigenvectors = */ false);
cout << "The eigenvalues of A are: " << es.eigenvalues().transpose() << endl;
es.compute(A + MatrixXf::Identity(4, 4), false);  // re-use es to compute eigenvalues of A+I
cout << "The eigenvalues of A+I are: " << es.eigenvalues().transpose() << endl;

Output:

The eigenvalues of A are:     (-0.644,0)  (0.441,0.322) (0.441,-0.322)       (-1.4,0)
The eigenvalues of A+I are:  (1.44,0.322) (1.44,-0.322)     (0.356,0)    (-0.397,0)

◆ eigenvalues()

template<typename MatrixType_>

const EigenvalueType & Eigen::EigenSolver< MatrixType_ >::eigenvalues ( ) const

inline

Returns the eigenvalues of given matrix.

Returns: A const reference to the column vector containing the eigenvalues.

Precondition: Either the constructor EigenSolver(const MatrixType&,bool) or the member function compute(const MatrixType&, bool) has been called before.

The eigenvalues are repeated according to their algebraic multiplicity, so there are as many eigenvalues as rows in the matrix. The eigenvalues are not sorted in any particular order.

Example:

MatrixXd ones = MatrixXd::Ones(3, 3);
EigenSolver<MatrixXd> es(ones, false);
cout << "The eigenvalues of the 3x3 matrix of ones are:" << endl << es.eigenvalues() << endl;

Output:

The eigenvalues of the 3x3 matrix of ones are:
(-5.31e-17,0)
        (3,0)
        (0,0)

See also: eigenvectors(), pseudoEigenvalueMatrix(), MatrixBase::eigenvalues()

◆ eigenvectors()

template<typename MatrixType>

EigenSolver< MatrixType >::EigenvectorsType Eigen::EigenSolver< MatrixType >::eigenvectors ( ) const

Returns the eigenvectors of given matrix.

Returns: Matrix whose columns are the (possibly complex) eigenvectors.

Precondition: Either the constructor EigenSolver(const MatrixType&,bool) or the member function compute(const MatrixType&, bool) has been called before, and computeEigenvectors was set to true (the default).

Column of the returned matrix is an eigenvector corresponding to eigenvalue number as returned by eigenvalues(). The eigenvectors are normalized to have (Euclidean) norm equal to one. The matrix returned by this function is the matrix in the eigendecomposition $A = V D V^{-1}$ , if it exists.

Example:

MatrixXd ones = MatrixXd::Ones(3, 3);
EigenSolver<MatrixXd> es(ones);
cout << "The first eigenvector of the 3x3 matrix of ones is:" << endl << es.eigenvectors().col(0) << endl;

Output:

The first eigenvector of the 3x3 matrix of ones is:
(-0.816,0)
 (0.408,0)
 (0.408,0)

◆ info()

template<typename MatrixType_>

ComputationInfo Eigen::EigenSolver< MatrixType_ >::info ( ) const

inline

Returns: NumericalIssue if the input contains INF or NaN values or overflow occurred. Returns Success otherwise.

◆ pseudoEigenvalueMatrix()

template<typename MatrixType>

MatrixType Eigen::EigenSolver< MatrixType >::pseudoEigenvalueMatrix ( ) const

Returns the block-diagonal matrix in the pseudo-eigendecomposition.

Returns: A block-diagonal matrix.

Precondition: Either the constructor EigenSolver(const MatrixType&,bool) or the member function compute(const MatrixType&, bool) has been called before.

The matrix returned by this function is real and block-diagonal. The blocks on the diagonal are either 1-by-1 or 2-by-2 blocks of the form $\begin{bmatrix} u & v \\ -v & u \end{bmatrix}$ . These blocks are not sorted in any particular order. The matrix and the matrix returned by pseudoEigenvectors() satisfy .

See also: pseudoEigenvectors() for an example, eigenvalues()

◆ pseudoEigenvectors()

template<typename MatrixType_>

const MatrixType & Eigen::EigenSolver< MatrixType_ >::pseudoEigenvectors ( ) const

inline

Returns the pseudo-eigenvectors of given matrix.

Returns: Const reference to matrix whose columns are the pseudo-eigenvectors.

Precondition: Either the constructor EigenSolver(const MatrixType&,bool) or the member function compute(const MatrixType&, bool) has been called before, and computeEigenvectors was set to true (the default).

The real matrix returned by this function and the block-diagonal matrix returned by pseudoEigenvalueMatrix() satisfy .

Example:

MatrixXd A = MatrixXd::Random(6, 6);
cout << "Here is a random 6x6 matrix, A:" << endl << A << endl << endl;
 
EigenSolver<MatrixXd> es(A);
MatrixXd D = es.pseudoEigenvalueMatrix();
MatrixXd V = es.pseudoEigenvectors();
cout << "The pseudo-eigenvalue matrix D is:" << endl << D << endl;
cout << "The pseudo-eigenvector matrix V is:" << endl << V << endl;
cout << "Finally, V * D * V^(-1) = " << endl << V * D * V.inverse() << endl;

Output:
