It is intended for solving systems of +linear equations (dense and sparse), solve least squares problems, +computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors, etc. We do not claim that it +contains every useful algorithm in numerical linear algebra, but it does +provide a basis on which more advanced algorithms can be built. The library +is for people who know something about the C programming language, +something of how to solve the numerical problem they are faced with but do +not want to have the hassle of building all the necessary routines from the +scratch. The library is not a loose collection of numerical routines but it +comprises a coherent system. The current version is enhanced with many +features comparing with previous versions. Since the memory requirements +are nontrivial for large problems we have paid more attention to +allocation/deallocation of memory. + + The source code is available to be perused, used and passed on without +cost, while ensuring that the quality of the software is not compromised. +The software is copyrighted; however, the copyright agreement follows in +the footsteps of the Free Software Foundation in preventing abuse that +occurs with totally public domain software. |
