Hi Guys, So far I am very happy with uBLAS. Thanks.
I noticed some minor duplication in vector.hpp so using cut & paste and a little inventiveness I have refactored scalar_vector, unit_vector and zero_vector into a single function_vector that takes a single vector_index_functor as its template argument. The benefits of this refactorisation is that users can further extend with instances of analytical functions / interpolants / whatever into a vector and it will use the uBLAS optimisations and constructs as appropriate. I have already been using it and *really* find it useful where I don't want to use excessive memory or less efficient constructs when calculating difference norms and/or resolving discretisations. It also saves a reasonable amount of duplication in vector.hpp. Furthermore, I suspect that it might not be an order of complexity further to create a function_matrix too based on the same ideas and for the same benefits. Is anyone interested in my work on this? I am guessing that the original maintainers probably have already thought of this as a lot of their work is still over my head. If anyone is interested and would like to guide and review my efforts (needed as this would potentially be my first open source contribution -- although small) I am happy to do more. I am hoping that (as it is mostly a cut&paste and as my original work closely copies the style of the rest of uBLAS) it would be easy to assimilate quickly. Matt http://careers.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
