I tried it for 3000-by-3000 matrices and if anything, it made eigs() a little bit slower. Makes me wonder what this option is good for at all?

Hello everyone,
I'm having trouble understanding the meaning of an option. In eigs(), one can set the option opts.issym, which by default is 0.
Am I right to understand, that using opts.issym=1 will tell Matlab that the matrix is symmetrical? If so, will this significantly increase the speed for large matrices or what effects does using this have?
Greetings

The options opts.issym and opts.isreal are only meant to be used when passing in a function handle for A.
When a matrix A is passed in, the options opts.issym and opts.isreal are ignored, and instead issymmetric(A) and isreal(A) are used.
For symmetric matrices, there a better algorithm is used if issymmetric(A) is true. This means that if a matrix is symmetric up to round-off error (check issymmetric(A)), it can be better to call eigs( (A + A')/2, ...) instead, as this will use the symmetric algorithm.

You get the 'la', 'sa', 'be' options for real symmetric.
I recall from my research last year that there are algorithms that depend upon the matrix being real and symmetric. I have not, however, checked out the references to figure out which algorithm is used.
