Hello. Thank you for showing me the equivalent process in PARI/GP. I think this implies I need to transfer the complex Hermitian matrix into gp_console() to find eigenvectors, then transfer them back to Sage. I'll update this post when I figure out how to do that.
In the mean time, if someone has a simple way of doing that please let me know. My updated Sage code lacks the last step. precision_digits=30 nop=5 # rank of matrix MS_nop_comp=MatrixSpace(ComplexField(precision_digits),nop,nop) tmat=MS_nop_comp(0) # zero-ize the values ttdag=MS_nop_comp(0) for a in range(nop): for b in range(nop): tmat[a,b]=random()+I*random() ttdag=tmat*tmat.conjugate().transpose() # get a Hermitian matrix # Find eigenvectors of ttdag in PARI/GP, pass results back to sage Thanks for the help, On Mar 30, 2:45 pm, achrzesz <achrz...@wp.pl> wrote: > sage: gp_console() > ? \p 100 > realprecision = 115 significant digits (100 digits displayed) > ? a=matrix(3,3,k,m,random(1.0))+I*matrix(3,3,k,m,random(1.0)); > ? m=a*conj(a)~; > ? mateigen(m) > > On 30 Mar, 18:20, Jason Grout <jason-s...@creativetrax.com> wrote: > > > > > > > > > On 3/30/11 10:44 AM, Ben123 wrote: > > > > Hello.
