Hi,
i am trying to perform diagonalization of a 3x3 matrix, of the form:
[ e1, V, 0 ]
H := [ V, e2, V ]
[ 0, V, e3 ]
which gives rise to a multivariate characteristic polynomial, that Maxima
fails to compute (here enclosed is the log file).
I wonder is there is a trick to get the work done.
Thank you

(C1) H : matrix( [ e1, V, 0],
[ V, e2, V],
[ 0, V, e3] );
[ e1 V 0 ]
[ ]
(D1) [ V e2 V ]
[ ]
[ 0 V e3 ]
(C2) eigenvectors(H);
Warning - you are redefining the MACSYMA function EIGENVALUES

quotient is not exact
#0: EIGENVECTORS(mat=MATRIX([e1,V,0],[V,e2,V],[0,V,e3]))
-- an error. Quitting. To debug this try DEBUGMODE(TRUE);)
