I need a function with following detail.
Function -=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=20
Principal eigen vector calculator=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=20

Description -
Function calculates only principal eigen vector and maximum eigen value of =
the input matrix.

Use -=20
Such functions are very useful in network research areas. Where we have to =
deal with sparse matrices and sometimes researchers are required to calcula=
te only principal eigen vector of the input general network traffic matrix =
or network traffic correlation matrix.

Query - May I know any available method for this purpose in GSL?

Additionally request - I also want to discuss scope of such function with u=
sability and applicability. As I am working in the field of machine learnin=
g based data mining, on looking my present state of prototypes, I feel i ca=
n contribute something in development of such function but for that I need =
guidance. Can anyone give?

Thanks and Best regards-
