fast_linsolve



Dear Maxima Mailing List

The in line manual shows an entry for 
"fast_linsolve" which is (or was) an optimized 
linear system solver for sparse matrices.

For me it would be great to have it
because my summation package would
have a considerable speed-up.
I am sure many other packages would 
take advantage of it.

Unfortunately "fast_linsolve" seems
to have disappeared from Maxima.
Does someone know what happened to it?
Is it still there under a different name?
Anyone working on sparse linear systems
(where entries can possibly be rational functions)?

    Regards
