Description

Hello!

I'm trying to implement a generalized eigensolver into AMGX (i.e. A*x=lambda*M*x). For now, I'm hacking it into SingleIteration_EigenSolver (power iteration method). I'm working on my own fork here. I have managed to enable access to both an A & M matrix in the class but any time I try to call a member function of the M matrix (e.g. m_M->currentView()), I get an invalid memory reference. The pointer is not null.

Any tips to help with this implementation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with SingleIteration_EigenSolver and the generalized_eigensolver branch mentioned in the issue, then trace how the M matrix is initialized and accessed at m_M->currentView(). Reproduce the invalid memory reference before proposing an implementation path; done would require a working generalized eigensolver and a confirmed resolution of the M-matrix access failure.
