I would like you to give me a hand with an 8x8 complex matrix (T)
obtained from a mechanical wave problem. Two of its eigenvectors are
bad calculated by MAPLE (ie, T.vec~=lambda.vec), however all of them
are good enough when MATLAB is used. Eigenvalues are well calculated by
both packages. How can I test this matrix to know the causes of its bad
behaviour with respect to MATLAB?. Which are the main differences
between Matlab's algorithm and Maple's algorithm to obtain
eigenvectors?
"Without the Maple software, we would have to spend weeks generating the equations of motion for every experiment. Then the chances that we did it right would basically be near zero. There would always be a mistake somewhere. It is very difficult to set up a dynamic motion model by hand." - Jean-Claude PiedBeouf, Ph.D Manager of Robotics, Canadian Space Agency
"Its very good - highly accurate and easy to use. The speed of Maple allows me to change equations and quickly reintegrate them into the application, so more possibilities can be explored to achieve the precise effect desired." Shawn Neely, Senior R & D Director for PDI/Dreamworks
