Hi Neilen,

Thank you very much for your hard work on the ARPACK wrapper.
Just now I have installed the sandbox package and tried to solve a
random eigenvalue
problem.

In order to compare the results with the workhorse eig I have used a
very small
order n. The number of desired eigenpairs is equal to k=4 in my example,
but the
shape of the array of eigenvectors is (n,k+1) and for the eigenvalues it
is (k+1,).
The eigenvectors returned by arpack.eigen are zero.

Nils
