Re: [Help-gsl] Eigen solution of non-symmetric tridiagonal

[John Chludzinski]

First, I would consider using LAPACK. I use LAPACK with Cygwin (it one of
the math packages that can be downloaded with Cygwin).

My experience using GSL to extract eigenvalues and vectors has been painful.
I used GSL to do a Cholesky factorization, Householder
similarity transformation,and finally solve for eigenvalues and vectors on a
tridiagonal matrix. On a 4000x4000 matrix the cumulatively time was ~9 hrs.
 On the same (AMD) machine using LAPACK, it took ~3.5 minutes.
