Hello all,
I think octave is excellent. I just incorporated the fsolve
from cpearls. I have been using this to replace the fmins calls
that I have from old matlab code that I wrote. Unfortunately,
fsolve doesn't return with a 1 for info, unless a root of the
function is found.
Of course, it shouldn't do this anyways. fmins, if incorporated
into octave, would return 1 if a local minimum is found (even if
this minimum was not a zero).
Does octave have such a function?
Also, is there plans to get symbolic functions into octave. I
tend to use invlaplace(f) (ie. where f = '1/(s+2)') and get a
symbolic answer of e^(-2t).
I think matlab uses maple for this kind of stuff. So I wouldn't
be surprised if there is not intention of including this in
octave.
Thanks for the info,
Jay Ryan
