	IntPtr evals,

	int lowindex, 
	int highindex
)

Parameters

mat
Type: System..::..IntPtr
The input symmetric square matrix, modified during the processing
evects
Type: System..::..IntPtr
The output matrix of eigenvectors, stored as subsequent rows
evals
Type: System..::..IntPtr
The output vector of eigenvalues, stored in the descending order (order of eigenvalues and eigenvectors is syncronized, of course)
eps
Type: System..::..Double
Accuracy of diagonalization. Typically, DBL EPSILON (about 10^(-15)) works well. THIS PARAMETER IS CURRENTLY IGNORED.
lowindex
Type: System..::..Int32
Optional index of largest eigenvalue/-vector to calculate. If either low- or highindex is supplied the other is required, too. Indexing is 1-based. Use 0 for default.
highindex
Type: System..::..Int32
Optional index of smallest eigenvalue/-vector to calculate. If either low- or highindex is supplied the other is required, too. Indexing is 1-based. Use 0 for default.

Remarks

Currently the function is slower than cvSVD yet less accurate, so if A is known to be positivelydefined (for example, it is a covariance matrix)it is recommended to use cvSVD to find eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A, especially if eigenvectors are not required.

Examples

To calculate the largest eigenvector/-value set lowindex = highindex = 1. For legacy reasons this function always returns a square matrix the same size as the source matrix with eigenvectors and a vector the length of the source matrix with eigenvalues. The selected eigenvectors/-values are always in the first highindex - lowindex + 1 rows.
