NonSymmetric Eigensystems

P 488 of NR for C++ (Chapter 11): "We consider the problem of finding all eigenvectors of a nonsymmetric matrix as lying beyond the scope of this book".

Any pointers on where to find out how to get the complete complex eigenvector matrix?

Thanks

Linpack or Lapack(at Netlib (http://www.netlib.org)) might help.

Good luck.

Thanks! I was already using LAPACK - but the version that I had was missing many of the comments - including those which gave the rules for extracting complex eigenvectors from the eigenvector matrix!
