TEST_EIGEN
Test Matrices for Eigenvalue Analysis


TEST_EIGEN, a MATLAB library which generates eigenvalue tests.

The current version of the code can only generate a symmetric or nonsymmetric matrix of arbitrary size, with eigenvalues distributed according to a normal distribution whose mean and standard deviation are specified by the user (subroutines R8SYMM_GEN and R8NSYMM_GEN).
