<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">I've come across an irregularity when extracting the eigenvectors when using the CISS method to solve the eigenvalue problem. I'm solving a generalized hermitian problem, and it
looks like the resulting eigenvectors are M-orthogonalized with each other (the M-inner products of different eigenvectors are approximately 0, as expected), but are normalized using the L2-inner product, not the M-inner product. Basically, the matrix V'*M*V
(V being a matrix composed of the extracted eigenvectors) is diagonal, but the diagonals are much larger than 1, and the matrix V'*V has non-zero diagonals, but the diagonal elements are exactly equal to 1.
<br>
<br>
This only happens if I use the CISS method. If I use the Arnoldi method for example, the eigenvectors are normalized as expected. Is there any particular reason for this, or is this an error in the implementation?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
