* Package name : mpsolve Version : 3.1.8 Upstream Author : Leonardo Robol <ro...@poisson.phc.unipi.it> * URL : https://numpi.dm.unipi.it/software/mpsolve * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : multiprecision polynomial solver MPSolve stands for Multiprecision Polynomial SOLVEr. It is a software that aims to provide an easy to use (hopefully) universal blackbox for solving polynomials and secular equations. Among its features you can find: * Arbitrary precision approximation. * Guaranteed inclusion radii for the results. * Exploiting of polynomial structures: it can take advantage of sparsity as well as coefficients in a particular domain (i.e. integers or rationals). * It can be specialized for specific classes of polynomials. As an example, see the roots of the Mandelbrot polynomial of degree 2.097.151 computed in about 10 days on a dual Xeon server. I am interested in packaging mpsolve as it will be a dependency for Macaulay2, a computer algebra system I eventually intend to package (see #439888). I will be packaging mpsolve under the umbrella of the Debian Science Team.
