Hello all,
I have been using MATLISP under CMUCL, but have recently run into some
problems that may prove to be show-stoppers for me. The type of
analysis I'm involved with requires a large number of matrix methods,
not just the "standard fare" (+,-,*...) but items such as
eigen-decomposition, SVD, QR decomposition, generalized EV, etc. I had
hoped to migrate my work from Matlab to LISP, but I'm beginning to think
that this was a very poor decision.
What other LISP based options are available?
tnx in advance....
mike

If the things you want are supported by LAPACK, then Matlisp can
certainly do them. If they're not part of Matlisp, it's because no
one had the time or need to add the foreign function interface code to
those routines.
If you can be more specific, and if LAPACK has those routines, it can
certainly be done.

Yes...LAPACK contains virtually everything needed and I've been using
Matlisp which uses these as a foundation. Unfortunately I suspect that
package as being part of a "crash-&-burn" problem that I can't work
through. I've been talking w/ Tunc concerning the specifics.
tnx

tnx...I forgot about this package...I'll be reviewing it later today.

You should check into Macsyma, which understands all about that, both
symbolically and numerically. Macsyma also understands Matlab programs.
