eigenvalues/vectors of complex matrices for the existing routine CGEEV. The implementation is ment to be consistent with the eigenvalue/vector computation for general matrices, by overloading the existing methods.

Hi,
on request of a colleague I've added the computation of eigenvectors/eigenvalues of complex and complex hermitian matrices as native and convenience methods. For this I received some funding from the University of Konstanz (Germany). Now, I would like to share this work with you, to uncover potential mistakes and to make a small contribution to your project.
For the computation of eigenvalues/eigenvectors of complex matrices (Fortran routines CGEEV and ZGEEV) the native methods already existed, but I added convenience methods for calling them from the
Eigenclass. For this I overloaded the existing methodsEigen.eigenvalueandEigen.eigenvectorin a way that seems consistent with the current design. Further I've implemented basic tests toTestEigen.javato check my implementation.For the computation of eigenvalues/eigenvectors of complex Hermitian matrices (Fortran routines CHEEV and ZHEEV) I added the native methods (through an addition to the Makefile which automatically generates the C code). Further, I created new convenience methods
Eigen.hermitianEigenvaluesandEigen.hermitianEigenvectorsfor which a call assumes a Hermitian input matrix (otherwise, the results might be incorrect). Again, I've included tests that cover some basic cases.I'll be glad to receive feedback on this implementation and I even have a few days left to work on further functionality related to complex and Hermitian matrices (please let me know if there are any preferences from your side).
