This may be of degree 12 in lambda (or degree 6 in lambda^2) in your case. In view of it the solution of that equation with symbolic coefficients seems to be problematic.</p> <p>In order to find&nbsp; the eigenvalues, you should solve the equation LinearAlgebra:-Determinant(lambda^2*M + S)=0 in lambda.
