# NEPSetEigenvalueComparison

Specifies the eigenvalue comparison function when NEPSetWhichEigenpairs() is set to NEP_WHICH_USER.

### Synopsis

    #include "slepcnep.h"
    PetscErrorCode NEPSetEigenvalueComparison(NEP pep,PetscErrorCode (*func)(PetscScalar,PetscScalar,PetscScalar,PetscScalar,PetscInt*,void*),void* ctx)

Logically Collective on NEP

### Input Parameters

| pep | - eigensolver context obtained from NEPCreate()
| func | - a pointer to the comparison function
| ctx | - a context pointer (the last parameter to the comparison function)

### Calling Sequence of func

      func(PetscScalar ar,PetscScalar ai,PetscScalar br,PetscScalar bi,PetscInt *res,void *ctx)

| ar | - real part of the 1st eigenvalue
| ai | - imaginary part of the 1st eigenvalue
| br | - real part of the 2nd eigenvalue
| bi | - imaginary part of the 2nd eigenvalue
| res | - result of comparison
| ctx | - optional context, as set by NEPSetEigenvalueComparison()

### Note

The returning parameter 'res' can be

| negative | - if the 1st eigenvalue is preferred to the 2st one
| zero | - if both eigenvalues are equally preferred
| positive | - if the 2st eigenvalue is preferred to the 1st one
