JACOBI_EIGENVALUE
Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of a Symmetric Matrix


JACOBI_EIGENVALUE is a Python library which computes the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix.

Given a real symmetric NxN matrix A, JACOBI_EIGENVALUE carries out an iterative procedure known as Jacobi's iteration, to determine a N-vector D of real, positive eigenvalues, and an NxN matrix V whose columns are the corresponding eigenvectors, so that, for each column J of the eigenmatrix:

        A * Vj = Dj * Vj
