Trouble with passing arguments to KrylovKit.eigsolve

General Usage
1

I am trying to follow the instructions for the eigenvalue solver in the KrylovKit package but even the simplest of instructions they have provided throw an error. I am confounded that instructions to even the simplest of tasks do not work.

I first create a symmetric 100X100 array

a = rand(100,100); a.+=a';

I get the following errors for various attempts to make the eigenvalue sovler run. For example, I cannot even specify the number of eigenvalues needed.

res = KrylovKit.eigsolve(a; howmany = 4)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching eigselector(::Array{Float64,2}, ::Type{Float64}; howmany=4)
Closest candidates are:

Neither can I sue the EigSorter option.

You made several mistakes

  • before the ; these are not keywork argument
  • which must supply a Symbol

KrylovKit.eigsolve(a, 4, :LM)
