Here are the LU methods: http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/LU-Decomposition.html It's not very sympathic to me... Actually I haven't gave up entirely on Eigen... Just the part with LU needs to be reworked: it we use LU, then we have to allocate a new matrix to store it -- this is how the interface of Eigen is defined. However, for nonlinear equations, we need some other method to solve the equations, because it's inefficient to allocate a new matrix for LU in each attempt to solve the system. Another question is the overhead introduced by Eigen -- I didn't manage to test it extensively (but it should be done, with and without debug info vs optimised code). Here are a few linear algebra software listed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_numerical_analysis_software ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
