Earl,

I am posing this question purely out of personal interest: what do you mean

The eigenvalues with largest and smallest magnitude. My problem is 
symmetric positive-definite, thus the spectrum is real and positive, so in 
my case "minimum eigenvalue" makes sense. 

Bruno,
I think I finally have a solution. By increasing Arnoldi space size, I 
obtained results that seems ok.

I think the documentation of arpack solver is not valid: 
https://www.dealii.org/developer/doxygen/deal.II/classArpackSolver.html#afdc3aa9d761c43b5b4132e731c6191a5
A The operator for which we want to compute eigenvalues. Actually, this 
parameter is entirely unused.*Actually, this parameter is entirely unused*.The 
matrix A is obviously used. 

Also, calling arpack with WhichEigenvalues::both_ends always results in a 
crash.
Thanks for help,
Michał
