My Dear:
I encounter a very strange/severe problem concerning the determination of the eigenvalue and the associated eigenvectors. I know eigenvalue problem is a very elementary problem nowadays, but really, I coldn't solve it myself. Even, I wrote a program for this, it didn't give rasonable results
My problem concerning the solution of the following eigenvalue problem:
{[K]-c^2[M]}.X=0.0
where:
K : is smmetric band real stiffness matrix (154x154)
M: is antisymmetric real mass matrix (154x154)
c: is the natura frequency or the eigenvalues
X: is the eigenvector
I already tried some routines called RGG and RG from the netlib, but any of them didn't give correct results. In fact all of them gave very strange results.
Even I tried some checks to check the algorithm which already incorporated inside the subroutine, but I couldn't decide its suitablitiy.

I would appreciate it if you are kind enoug and try to introduce any kind of help as soon as you can.

waiting in front of the screen.
sincerely,
K.A.Hafez
