[OctDev] Function ILU

[Giovanni M. F. <gio...@gm...>]

Dear all,
I'm Giovanni Matteo Fumarola, a italian student of Computer Science of
Politecnico di Milano.
For a university project, I want to realize a ILU function, this is missing
in Octave.
I send you this mail for know if someone has working about it, and some
information about octave standard for development.

Best Regard
Fumarola GM

Hi Giovanni,
are you planning to add the fuction as addon package or
as core octave function ?

In the second case the right mailing list is:

Giovanni,

ILU is a core Matlab function so it should go into core Octave in principle
as Marco suggested.


On the other hand, Octave has more strict requirements for accepting contributed code than Octave-Forge,
so I suggest you start by contributing your function to the Octave-Forge in the package linear_algebra 
and then we can help you moving it into Octave later.

Anyway it is a good idea to ask on the maintainers list as well to know if someone else is working on this.

Here is some general info about contributing to Octave:

and to Octave Forge:

Welcome to Octave!
