Hi all, Hong--looking at your link, there may be no special algorithm for Hermitian matrices in MUMPS, but that doesn't mean it can't solve them like it would any matrix. Furthermore it appears that Cholesky of complex matrices is supported from this link: https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/linearsolvertable.html
So do you or anyone have any idea why I get incorrect eigenvalues? Thanks, Greg On Thu, Sep 21, 2017 at 5:51 PM Greg Meyer <[email protected]> wrote: > Ok, thanks.
