eigh

eigh(x: array, /) → Tuple[array]

Returns an eigendecomposition x = QLQᵀ of a symmetric matrix (or a stack of symmetric matrices) x, where Q is an orthogonal matrix (or a stack of matrices) and L is a vector (or a stack of vectors).

Note

The function eig will be added in a future version of the specification, as it requires complex number support.

Note

Whether an array library explicitly checks whether an input array is a symmetric matrix (or a stack of symmetric matrices) is implementation-defined.

Parameters:

x (array) – input array having shape (..., M, M) and whose innermost two dimensions form square matrices. Must have a floating-point data type.

Returns:

• out (Tuple[array]) – a namedtuple (eigenvalues, eigenvectors) whose

  • first element must have the field name eigenvalues (corresponding to L above) and must be an array consisting of computed eigenvalues. The array containing the eigenvalues must have shape (..., M).

  • second element have have the field name eigenvectors (corresponding to Q above) and must be an array where the columns of the inner most matrices contain the computed eigenvectors. These matrices must be orthogonal. The array containing the eigenvectors must have shape (..., M, M).

  Each returned array must have the same floating-point data type as x.

• .. note:: – Eigenvalue sort order is left unspecified and is thus implementation-dependent.
