Hi,

in the SLEPc EPS documentation [1] you can see that the initial
vectors have to be set explicitly, otherwise the initial vector is
initialized with random values.
You have to retrieve the EPS object somehow and set the initial
starting vector manually, as there is no method implemented for that,
yet. (No call to EPSSetInitialSpace in the libmesh sources)
