Hi,
I'm trying to use R to get eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix whose elements are of the form (2 * lambda), -(lambda + mu), etc. I'd like R to treat this matrix as a numeric matrix without treating lambda and mu as variable names but rather as some sort of atomic quantities (and hence give eigenvectors in terms of mu and/or lambda). MatLab and Mathematica both do this, but I'm not sure whether R does. Does anyone have any ideas about how to do this? Please let me know, Dylan ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
