# EPSSetInterval

Defines the computational interval for spectrum slicing.

### Synopsis

    #include "slepceps.h"
    PetscErrorCode EPSSetInterval(EPS eps,PetscReal inta,PetscReal intb)

Logically Collective

### Input Parameters

| eps | - eigensolver context
| inta | - left end of the interval
| intb | - right end of the interval

### Options Database Key

| -eps_interval <a,b> | - set [a,b] as the interval of interest

### Notes

Spectrum slicing is a technique employed for computing all eigenvalues of symmetric eigenproblems in a given interval. This function provides the interval to be considered. It must be used in combination with EPS_ALL, see EPSSetWhichEigenpairs().

In the command-line option, two values must be provided. For an open interval, one can give an infinite, e.g., -eps_interval 1.0,inf or -eps_interval -inf,1.0. An open interval in the programmatic interface can be specified with PETSC_MAX_REAL and -PETSC_MAX_REAL.
