How To Install libarpack2-dev on Debian 10

Learn how to install libarpack2-dev on Debian 10 with this tutorial. libarpack2-dev is Fortran77 subroutines to solve large scale eigenvalue problems (development)

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libarpack2-dev on Debian 10.

What is libarpack2-dev

libarpack2-dev is:

ARPACK software is capable of solving large scale symmetric, nonsymmetric, and generalized eigenproblems from significant application areas. The software is designed to compute a few (k) eigenvalues with user specified features such as those of largest real part or largest magnitude. Storage requirements are on the order of n*k locations. No auxiliary storage is required. A set of Schur basis vectors for the desired k-dimensional eigen-space is computed which is numerically orthogonal to working precision. Numerically accurate eigenvectors are available on request.

This package contains the static libraries and the documentation for development with libarpack (including examples).
