sparse stuff found

[Daniel Heiserer]

Hi,

we had some discussions in this group concerning implementation
of sparse matrices.

I found a really good looking (free source) package for sparse matrices.
It looks really efficient for all the important things like 
extracting sub-matrices, converting from one sparse representation
into another and so on. Maybe we could do real big physical applications
with it inside octave (fem, ..... ).

I talked to Yousef Saad (the author and copyright holder of sparse kit)
about a potential implementation of this toolkit into octave.
He had no problems with it as long as the copyright and all
the non-commercial disclaimer stuff comes with it.

Are there any volunteers out there for helping to implement 
this package? I am on a very tight time-budget right now.


Thanks 
bye daniel
