Re:Sparse Matrix

[Andreas Stahel]

Andy Adler adapted the SuperLU package, such that it can be used within 
octave. I can recommend this package, it should solve 5000x5000 systems
without problems. I use the package in my FEM package.

Find the source on http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/ as 
octave-forge

Hope this helps

Andreas

Download the octave-forge package from http://octave.sf.net.  It includes 
support
for sparse matrices.
