thank you for your quick reply. Just for sake of documentation:
the output reads as [[[eigenvalue1, eigenvalue2],[multiplicity of EVal1, multiplicity of EVal2]], Eigenvect of EVal1,..., Eigenvect EVal1, Eigenvect of EVal2,..., Eigenvect of EVal2] On 4 Mrz., 12:44, Jason Grout <jason-s...@creativetrax.com> wrote: > sonium wrote: > > Hi, I have problems calculating the eigenvectors of a symbolic matrix. > > I tried: > > > a,b = var('a'),var('b') > > M = matrix(SR,4,4,((a, 0, 0, 0), (0,-a,0,0), (0,0,a,0), (0,0,0,-a))) > > M.eigenvectors_right() > > > what results in: > > AttributeError: 'SymbolicArithmetic' object has no attribute 'degree' > > This comes from us not having a special implementation of the eigen > functions for symbolic matrices (i.e., using maxima).
