Eigendecomposition of a Hermitian matrix.

Computes the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a complex Hermitian or real symmetric square matrix.

Parameters:

  • x (Array) – A batch of square complex Hermitian or real symmetric matrices with shape [..., n, n].

  • lower (bool) – If symmetrize_input is False, describes which triangle of the input matrix to use. If symmetrize_input is False, only the triangle given by lower is accessed; the other triangle is ignored and not accessed.

  • symmetrize_input (bool) – If True, the matrix is symmetrized before the eigendecomposition by computing \(\frac{1}{2}(x + x^H)\).

  • sort_eigenvalues (bool) – If True, the eigenvalues will be sorted in ascending order. If False the eigenvalues are returned in an implementation-defined order.

  • subset_by_index (tuple[int, int] | None) – Optional 2-tuple [start, end] indicating the range of indices of eigenvalues to compute. For example, is range_select = [n-2,n], then eigh computes the two largest eigenvalues and their eigenvectors.

Returns:

A tuple (v, w).

v is an array with the same dtype as x such that v[..., :, i] is the normalized eigenvector corresponding to eigenvalue w[..., i].

w is an array with the same dtype as x (or its real counterpart if complex) with shape [..., d] containing the eigenvalues of x in ascending order(each repeated according to its multiplicity). If subset_by_index is None then d is equal to n. Otherwise d is equal to subset_by_index[1] - subset_by_index[0].

Return type:

tuple[Array, Array]
