Abstract

This document describes slepc4py, a Python port to the SLEPc libraries.

SLEPc is a software package for the parallel solution of large-scale eigenvalue problems. It can be used for computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors of large, sparse matrices, or matrix pairs, and also for computing singular values and vectors of a rectangular matrix.

SLEPc relies on PETSc for basic functionality such as the representation of matrices and vectors, and the solution of linear systems of equations. Thus, slepc4py must be used together with its companion petsc4py.
