[petsc-users] Eigenvalue solver method in Petsc

[Sonya Blade]

Dear All,

I'm pretty new to the Petsc library, before going into installation hassle,
I'd like to know is it possible solve common eigenvalue problems mainly 
encountered in solid mechanics engineering such as Subspace iteration,Jacobi 
method, simultaneous iteration, Stodola etc..with Petsc.

Mainly those problems comes in stiffness and mass matrices form, where in general 
they are symmetric and can be huge in size e.g 5000x5000.

If it's possible to solve those type of problems with Petsc then is it 
trouble free the installation of library with Gnu GCC and gfortran on Win64?

Your help will be appreciated,

REgards,
