// \brief Find eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix
//
//    vnl_symmetric_eigensystem_compute()
//    solves the eigenproblem $A x = \lambda x$, with $A$ symmetric.
//    The resulting eigenvectors and values are sorted in increasing order
//    so <CODE> V.column(0) </CODE> is the eigenvector corresponding to the
//    smallest eigenvalue.
//
//    As a matrix decomposition, this is $A = V D V^t$
//
//    Uses the EISPACK routine RS, which in turn calls TRED2 to reduce A
//    to tridiagonal form, followed by TQL2, to find the eigensystem.
//    This is summarized in Golub and van Loan, \S8.2.  The following are
//    the original subroutine headers:
//
// \remark TRED2 is a translation of the Algol procedure tred2,
//     Num. Math. 11, 181-195(1968) by Martin, Reinsch, and Wilkinson.
//     Handbook for Auto. Comp., Vol.ii-Linear Algebra, 212-226(1971).
//
// \remark This subroutine reduces a real symmetric matrix to a
//     symmetric tridiagonal matrix using and accumulating
//     orthogonal similarity transformations.
//
// \remark TQL2 is a translation of the Algol procedure tql2,
//     Num. Math. 11, 293-306(1968) by Bowdler, Martin, Reinsch, and Wilkinson.
//     Handbook for Auto. Comp., Vol.ii-Linear Algebra, 227-240(1971).
//
// \remark This subroutine finds the eigenvalues and eigenvectors
//     of a symmetric tridiagonal matrix by the QL method.
//     the eigenvectors of a full symmetric matrix can also
//     be found if  tred2  has been used to reduce this
//     full matrix to tridiagonal form.
