SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on solving the Bose Hubbard model using ARPACK for a system with 8 sites, each having 3 possible states, resulting in a matrix dimension of 6561x6561. The user reports that LAPACK functions efficiently handle matrices up to 3000x3000 but fails for larger dimensions. They reference the dsdrv1.f example from ARPACK, which demonstrates solving the 2-dimensional Laplacian with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions, but seek guidance on adapting this example to their specific problem.
