NAME
ARnoldi PACKage (ARPACK)
DESCRIPTION
ARPACK is a collection of Fortran 77 subroutines designed to solve
large-scale eigenvalue problems. ARPACK stands for ARnoldi PACKage.
It is capable of solving large-scale symmetric(Hermitian), non-symmet-
ric (non-Hermitian), standard, or generalized eigenvalue problems from
significant application areas. The ARPACK library is designed to com-
pute a few, say k, eigenvalues with user-specified features such as
those of largest real part or largest magnitude using n*O(k) + O(k*k)
storage. No auxiliary storage is required. A set of Schur basis vec-
tors for the desired k-dimensional eigenspace is computed which is
numerically orthogonal to working precision. Eigenvectors are also
available upon request. ARPACK is dependent upon a number of subrou-
tines from LAPACK and BLAS. The performance scales asymptotically to
the Level 2 BLAS operation GEMV.
The ARPACK in MathKeisan is based on the original version written by
Rich Lehoucq, Kristi Maschhoff, Danny Sorensen and Chao Yang (Rice Uni-
versity).
