Why is Intel MKL failing to solve this eigenproblem while SciPy has no problems

[csouto]

I am trying to solve a generalized eigenvalue problem (I want both the eigenvalues and eigenvectors):

[A]{x} = lambda[B]{x}

Or equivalent (Finite Element Method):

[M]{x} = (1/w^2)[K]{x}

Where [M]=[A] and [K]=[B] (mass and stiffness matrices, respectively).

In order to impose Dirichlet boundary conditions, [M] is singular in my case.

I have both [M] and [K] in plain text files. These matrices are stored in COO format, 0-based indexing, not sorted.

My files (attached, or download from Google Drive

kc: where K columns are stored
kr: where K rows are stored
kv: where K values are stored
mc, mr, mv: analogous to K, but for the M matrix

Using the data from the files, I can solve the problem with SciPy (Python). Since this is a FEA problem, I've also solved it in Abaqus CAE, so I know for a fact that both eigenvalues and eigenvectors are correctly calculated in SciPy:

MODE    ABAQUS (w^2)    SciPy (w^2)
1       +6.07235E+06    +6.50440E+06
2       +2.28087E+08    +2.44463E+08
3       +1.67357E+09    +1.79572E+09
4       +3.36973E+09    +3.37316E+09
5       +5.88655E+09    +6.32761E+09
(1/lambda = w^2)

My Python code:

from scipy.sparse import coo_matrix
from scipy.sparse.linalg import eigs
from numpy import real

rows = 610
cols = 610
a_nnz = 4628
b_nnz = 9266

# read a
with open('./coo/mr') as f: a_row_indx = [int(i) for i in f]
with open('./coo/mc') as f: a_col_indx = [int(i) for i in f]
with open('./coo/mv') as f: a_val_indx = [float(i) for i in f]

# read b
with open('./coo/kr') as f: b_row_indx = [int(i) for i in f]
with open('./coo/kc') as f: b_col_indx = [int(i) for i in f]
with open('./coo/kv') as f: b_val_indx = [float(i) for i in f]

a = coo_matrix((a_val_indx, (a_row_indx, a_col_indx)), shape=(rows, cols))
b = coo_matrix((b_val_indx, (b_row_indx, b_col_indx)), shape=(rows, cols))

eigenvalues, eigenvectors = eigs(A=a, M=b, k=10)

val = real(eigenvalues) # to remove "+0j", eigenvalues are real
v = 1.0/val

My question is, why is Intel MKL failing to solve this problem? I've tried tinkering with the code, but I always get errors or exceptions:

pm(3) = 1 ! -> Exception thrown at 0x00007FFCE77556EC (mkl_core.dll) in Console1.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation accessing location 0x0000000000000000.

I have wasted all day looking at this code and I can't tell what I am doing wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT

Code correction:

character, parameter :: which = 'L'

Since I want the lowest w^2, i.e, the largest eigenvalues (lambda = 1/w^2).

pm(3) = 1 ! -> Exception thrown at 0x00007FFCE77556EC (mkl_core.dll) in Console1.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation accessing location 0x0000000000000000.
