This page is to a large extent obsolete, as most of my useful
octave code is on Octave-Forge
Octave links
Octave is a numerical language, to some extent compatible with
Matlab", but free.
Octave-Forge is a separate and quickly evolving repository of Octave
functions and links. This site provides a toolbox that complements
Octave's native functions.
Oldies
Most of the links below have been ported to Octave-Forge, so they may be
obsolete. I keep them here because some have not been ported yet (if
ever) and may provide some specific functionality.

Notes :
- Function minimization when 1st and
2nd derivatives are available.
quad_min.2000.10.08.tar.gz
The quad_min()
function supercedes the previous Levenberg-Marquardt-like
function.
levmar.2000.03.13.tar.gz
- Function minimization when
1st derivative is available. Two functions are avaible :
Davidon-Fletcher-Powell dfp_min() and
Conjugate Gradient conjgrad_min().

deriv_min.2000.10.16.tar.gz
- Function
minimization when derivatives are not available : downhill
simplex (Nelder-Mead) optimization function. It is not the
same as the "downsimplex" for optimizing a linear function subject
to linear inequality constraints.

- Produce vrml code from
octave objects, and save it.
Also, if FreeWRL is installed,
you may
- Examine the VRML objects (e.g. sets of 3D points, planes and other
surfaces), (Octave function "vrml_browse()")
- Examine 3D surfaces (function "vmesh()")
- Select 3D points from a set (function "select_3D_points()")

Note : Some of the functions above may be dependent on other
functions that are not in the tar file. If that happens, ask me for the
missing functions.
Non-octave code for manipulating octave code
Patches for Octave 2.1.34
octave-2.1.34.leval.patch
Patch for a 'leval' built-in function.
res = leval ("funcname", arglist)
Where "funcname" is the name of a function and 'arglist' is a
list variable. "funcname" is called with all the elements in
'arglist' as arguments.
This is the same as
res = eval (["funcname", "(", \
nth(arglist,1),",", \
...,",", \
nth(arglist,length(arglist)),\
")"]);
but quicker. This function is used in the optimization
functions above.
octave-2.1.34.kron.patch
Built-in 'kron' function. Speed-up wrt. to original is more or
less a factor of 5.
octave-2.1.34.exist.patch
Patch so that 'exist' functions may accept to be called as
'exist("myvar","var")'. It will return 1 if there is a variable called
myvar and zero otherwise. The advantage over 'exist("myvar")==1' is
speed : the later checks for functions and files called "myvar" and
that takes time.
