[petsc-users] qep results different from polyeig in matlab

[张伟]

Hello
every one. I am Wei. I want to use slepc to solver my quadratic eigenvalue problem. and now I start with the tutorial ex16 and compare with polyeig function matlab. but the two give different results.
here is the results from slepc

Number of requested eigenvalues:  6
Stopping condition: tol= 1e-08 , maxit= 100
Number of converged approximate eigenpairs:  8

          k           ||(k^2M+Ck+K)x||/||kx||

and here is the results from polyeig in Matlab.
tol =

  1.0000e-008

ee =

        0 + 2.4425i
        0 - 2.4425i
        0 + 2.4218i
        0 - 2.4218i
        0 + 2.3876i
        0 - 2.3876i
        0 + 2.3405i
        0 - 2.3405i
        0 + 2.2815i
        0 - 2.2815i
        0 + 2.2117i
        0 - 2.2117i
        0 + 2.1324i
        0 - 2.1324i
        0 + 2.0456i
        0 - 2.0456i
        0 + 1.4262i
        0 - 1.4262i
        0 + 1.4612i
        0 - 1.4612i
        0 + 1.5164i
        0 - 1.5164i
        0 + 1.5881i
        0 - 1.5881i
        0 + 1.9533i
        0 - 1.9533i
        0 + 1.6717i
        0 - 1.6717i
        0 + 1.7631i
        0 - 1.7631i
        0 + 1.8581i
        0 - 1.8581i 

it is different a lot especially for imagine part even if both converged to 1e-8. I tried both linear solver and qarnoldi method.   could any one tell me what is that? is it error?
