Comment #1 on issue 1664 by aaron.j.gardner: Matrix([ [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9] ]).eigenvects() fails http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1664
This 3x3 matrix is not the only one producing an eigenvects() error. I discovered that the problem exists for some 2x2 matrices I've been working with in my differential enqs class. Examples: ================= >>> M = Matrix([ [1,-1], [1,3] ]) >>> M.eigenvals() {2: 2} >>> M.eigenvects() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "./sympy/matrices/matrices.py", line 1426, in eigenvects assert len(basis) == k AssertionError ================= >>> A = Matrix([ [-2,-3], [-4,1] ]) >>> A.eigenvals() ____ ____ \/ 57 \/ 57 {-1/2 + ------: 1, -1/2 - ------: 1} 2 2 >>> A.eigenvects() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "./sympy/matrices/matrices.py", line 1426, in eigenvects assert len(basis) == k AssertionError I think the problem lies in the calculations done by nullspace() when eigenvects() is called. When I can devote more time, I'll see what I can come up with. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
