  Finds the proper values and proper vectors ("eigenvalues" and "eigenvectors") of a given square matrix, A, by the method of A. M. Danilevsky [Faddeeva, 1959]. See a sketch of the theory.pdf.

The basis data are the "Le Verrier's matrix", with characteristic polynomial coefficients, after 1: (47.888, 797.279, 5349.455, 12296.55).

1) Matrices with identical proper values are not solved here. A perturbation of the matrix is suggested.

2) If there is no alternative for a pivot of 0 (to its left), the procedure stops, but leaves a "split" problem (as in the last example below).

Suggested alternative examples, with results (set of proper values, λ, and proper vectors, E-vectors):

Matrix   λ   E-vectors
2 1
1 2
3
1
1 1
1 -1
   
Matrix   λ   E-vectors
1 2
2 1
3
-1
1 1
1 -1
   
Matrix   λ   E-vectors
2 -4
-1 -1
3
-2
1 1
-1⁄4 1
   
Matrix   λ   E-vectors
5 8 16
4 1 8
-4 -4 -11
1
-3
-3
1 -1 1
1⁄2 1 0
-1⁄2 0 -1⁄2
[Or the last example with last row -4 0 11, Λ = (5 -3 -7).]
