Overview

This is a simple C frontend for ARPACK. This allows easy access to calculating a subset of eigenvectors and eigenvalues of sparse matrices. Specifically it can solve two problems:

• Av = vd
• Av = Mvd

Where A, M are sparse matrices, v is the subset of eigenvectors and d is the diagonal matrix of eigenvalues.
