TEST_EIGEN
Test Matrices for Eigenvalue Analysis

TEST_EIGEN is a C++ library which generates eigenvalue tests.

The current version of the code can only generate a symmetric matrix with eigenvalues distributed according to a normal distribution whose mean and standard deviation are specified by the user (subroutine SYMM_TEST).
