I think the right strategy is to make a separate complex array
implementation library ("core.matrix.complex"?). In terms of dependencies,
it would only need to depend depend upon "core.matrix" and "complex".
The array representation could simply be a deftype which uses two
underlying arrays for the real and complex parts of the array respectively.
This world:
- use Complex values for array elements (mget etc.)
- allow the use of arbitrary underlying implementations (vectorz-clj,
Clatrix etc.)
- implement all the relevant core.matrix protocols for Complex scalar values
- implement all the relevant core.matrix protocols for Complex arrays
- maybe add some special functions for complex-specific tasks
- as an added bonus, act as a proof point that the core.matrix protocols
work for non-real valued arrays (which I think they do, but would be nice
to confirm...)
The implementation should be fairly straightforward, but if anyone wants I
can create a repo and bang out a bare-bones implementation in an hour or so
that people can build upon.
