# scipy.linalg.eigvals

`scipy.linalg.``eigvals`(a, b=None, overwrite_a=False)

  Compute eigenvalues from an ordinary or generalized eigenvalue problem.

  Find eigenvalues of a general matrix:

      a   vr[:,i] = w[i]        b   vr[:,i]

  Parameters : | a : array, shape (M, M) A complex or real matrix whose eigenvalues and eigenvectors will be computed. b : array, shape (M, M) Right-hand side matrix in a generalized eigenvalue problem. If omitted, identity matrix is assumed. overwrite_a : boolean Whether to overwrite data in a (may improve performance)
  Returns : | w : double or complex array, shape (M,) The eigenvalues, each repeated according to its multiplicity, but not in any specific order. Raises LinAlgError if eigenvalue computation does not converge :
