Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around finding optimized C programs for calculating eigenvalues of real non-symmetric matrices. Participants seek alternative resources to Numerical Recipes for this purpose.
Discussion Character
Main Points Raised
- One participant requests a link to an optimized C program for calculating eigenvalues of real non-symmetric matrices.
- Another participant questions the issues with using Numerical Recipes.
- A suggestion is made that the license of Numerical Recipes might be a concern.
- A participant recommends the GNU Scientific Library as an alternative resource.
- One participant acknowledges the suggestions with a thank you.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
The discussion does not reach a consensus on the suitability of Numerical Recipes, as some participants question its use while others suggest alternatives without resolving the underlying concerns.
Contextual Notes
Participants do not clarify specific limitations of the suggested resources or the implications of using different libraries for eigenvalue calculations.
Who May Find This Useful
Individuals interested in numerical methods, programming in C, and eigenvalue calculations, particularly in the context of non-symmetric matrices.
