Hello! What do GSL developers think about using source code from ALGLIB in GSL?
ALGLIB is an open source numerical analysis library distributed under GPL 2+. It uses automatic translation from specially designed pseudocode to provide same functionality in C++, C#, FreePascal and other programming languages. Project aims to be highly portable, compiler- and OS-independent. It is actively developed (new releases each month). ALGLIB contains many interesting algorithms which are missing in GSL. For example, it includes: * limited memory BFGS optimizer * improved Levenberg-Marquardt optimizer * bound constrained optimizer * 2-dimensional interpolation (bilinear/bicubic splines) * scattered N-dimensional interpolation/fitting with linearithmic complexity. It should be easy to write GSL-ish wrapper for ALGLIB. I can help if someone wants to implement it. However it is unclear what is GSL devs position on using external libraries. I've read past discussions on FLAME and FFTW, but there was no decision. Sergey Bochkanov. -- With best regards, Sergey mailto:[email protected]
