Right. That's what I thought. However just wanna point out the original
example code kernel_polynomial_method.py was buggy and doesn't give the
delta function for this identity matrix. I managed to get it almost right
by changing some lines. But right now it's shifted instead of being a peak
at 1.

Best wishes, Edmond
