Build Status codecov

A nonlinear eigenvalue problem is the problem to determine a scalar λ and a vector v such that

M(λ)v=0

where M is an nxn-matrix depending on a parameter. This package aims to provide state-of-the-art algorithms to solve this problem, as well as a framework to formulate applications and easy access to benchmark problems. This currently includes (but is not restricted to) Newton-type methods, Subspace methods, Krylov methods, contour integral methods, block methods, companion matrix approaches. Problem transformation techniques such as scaling, shifting, deflating are also natively supported by the package.

How to use it?

On Julia 1.X and Julia 0.7, install it as a registered package by typing ] add ... at the REPL-prompt:

julia> ]
(v1.0) pkg> add NonlinearEigenproblems

After that, check out "Getting started" in

NEP-PACK online user's guide

or read the preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.09592

GIT Version

If you want the cutting edge development version and not the latest release, install it with the URL:

julia> ]
(v1.0) pkg> add git://github.com/nep-pack/NonlinearEigenproblems.jl.git
