SLEPc is based on PETSc and therefore users are recommended to use this documentation together with the one provided with PETSc. Application programmers can easily begin to use SLEPc from a high level (starting from the tutorial examples) and then gradually learn more details according to their needs.

SLEPc Manual Pages

Main solver classes:

• Eigenvalue Problem Solver (EPS)
• Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)
• Polynomial Eigenvalue Problem (PEP)
• Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problem (NEP)
• Matrix Function (MFN)
• Linear Matrix Equation (LME)

Auxiliary classes and system routines:

• Spectral Transformation (ST)
• Direct Solver (DS)
• Basis Vectors (BV)
• Mathematical Function (FN)
• Region (RG)
• System Routines

The manual pages are split into four categories; we recommend that you begin with basic functionality and then gradually explore more sophisticated library features.

• Beginner - Basic usage
• Intermediate - Setting options for algorithms and data structures
• Advanced - Setting more advanced options and customization
• Developer - Interfaces intended primarily for library developers, not for typical applications programmers
