Re: [sage-devel] Eigenvector result changed from 5.11 to 5.12

That is not a bug, since v is an eigenvector iff -v is, even if you want it normalised. If you mind whether some entries are positive, just test and negate if necessary. John On 12 November 2013 09:41, Evans Doe Ocansey wrote: > Hi > > We're getting different results for an eigenvector in Sage

[sage-devel] Eigenvector result changed from 5.11 to 5.12

2013-11-12 Thread Evans Doe Ocansey
Hi We're getting different results for an eigenvector in Sage 5.11 and Sage 5.12. We think 5.11 is the correct answer and 5.12 has flipped the values to negative. sage@hummingbird-lan:~$ cat eigenbug.sage A=matrix(RDF,[[0, 1/2, 1/3, 0, 0], \ [1/2, 0, 0, 1/3, 0], \ [1/2
