EIG matrix function

Description

EIG(A[,v]) returns the Eigenvalues of matrix A. Optionally, the eigenvectors are stored in the workspace variable v.

Workspace variables

The value of a workspace variable is not stored in the spreadsheet, but in a separate memory space. The workspace variable name cannot be equal to a spreadsheet cell address (such as A1 or DC12), a spreadsheet function, or to a reserved word. In addition, it cannot contain a space or a character from the reserved character set: - + / * = < > # & @ $ | ^ : , ; . ( ) ' " [ ] { }.
