ok :-) thanks in advance for the answer. Maybe i've understood. so it seems to
be equal...but are symmetric and opposite values
-0.735179 != 0.735179
but:
abs( -0.735179 ) = abs( 0.735179 )
so :| i'm just think that if i use the value -1 for x and the value 1 the
eigenvectors which i get are symmetric and opposite in sign no?
:)
