I realized that, when using LinearAlgebra.jl’s eigen function to solve a general eigenvalue problem for a matrix pencil (A, B), the eigenvectors returned do not seem to be normalized in any way. The standard in the numerical linear algebra community is usually to have them B-orthonormal, i.e., vecs[…

Eigen produces non-normalized eigenvectors

I restarted a REPL instance, and now everything works. I have no clue what happened. Anyway, thanks.
