[Scilab-users] Solving generalized eigenvalue in scilab: spec()?

[antoine.monmayrant at laas.fr]

Hello,

I need to solve a generalized eigenvalue problem, but I am not sure I am 
trying to use the right scilab function for that.
Here is my generalized eigenvalue problem:
     Sb*w=lambda*Sw*w
     // Sb and Sw are matrices and I want to find the eigenvectors w and 
eigenvalues lambda
Is "[alpha,beta,R] = spec(Sb,Sw)" the function I am supposed to call?
I tried my best at understanding the spec() help page, but I am too far 
away from my area of expertise.
If someone more knowledgeable than me can tell me whether I am on the 
right track or not and how to interpret [alpha,beta,R, I'll be more than 
grateful.


Cheers,


Antoine
