Re: Interested in working with octave

[Arpit Sharma]

Thanks Felipe,

Things that I did till now-:

1) Successfully built development version of octave and learning
octave's architecture.
2) Got understanding of mercurial DVCS.

Some points on Generalized eigenvalue problem-:
1) We can't calculate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors without the
balancing, it is throwing error "error: eig: wrong type argument
'sq_string'" while giving perfect result with balancing.
2) For Left Eigenvectors result is not matching Matlab's result.
3) For Generalized Eigenvalues Using QZ Algorithm for Badly
Conditioned Matrices throwing error  "Invalid call to eig". I guess QZ
algorithm is needs to be implement.

If I am missing some or wrong please correct.

regards
-Arpit
