You could do this:
sage: [_ for _ in dir(A) if _.find('eigen') != -1]
['_eigenspace_format',
'eigenmatrix_left',
'eigenmatrix_right',
'eigenspaces_left',
'eigenspaces_right',
'eigenvalues',
'eigenvectors_left',
'eigenvectors_right',
'left_eigenmatrix',
'left_eigenspaces',
'left_eigenvectors',
'right_eigenmatrix',
'right_eigenspaces',
'right_eigenvectors']
Oh, wait: I just discovered the IPython magic function 'psearch'. I think
this is the right way to do it:
sage: %psearch A.*eigen*
A.eigenmatrix_left
A.eigenmatrix_right
A.eigenspaces_left
A.eigenspaces_right
A.eigenvalues
A.eigenvectors_left
A.eigenvectors_right
A.left_eigenmatrix
A.left_eigenspaces
A.left_eigenvectors
A.right_eigenmatrix
A.right_eigenspaces
A.right_eigenvectors
That's pretty cool, at least if I can remember it...
