Since you've extended this thread some more, I'll mention that the current version of the code that I am working on runs a little bit more than twice as fast as that version. It's posted at http://www.math.lsa.umich.edu/~bober/partitions_c.cc if anyone is interested in testing it. (But don't was

4 Color theorem - I may be wrong, but as far as I know, the proof by Robertson, Seymour, Sanders and Thomas also requires computational verification of parts of the proof. http://www.math.gatech.edu/~thomas/FC/fourcolor.html But I am not sure if there is a further simplification that no more needs

Hi SAGE developers, My main goals for SAGE-2.8 are: (1) Get the new singular to work (2) Include new version of linbox and givaro (mainly so SAGE will build under gcc 4.2). (3) Include some excellent new quadratic forms code of David Kohel, Gabe Nebe, and Jon Voight from

The eigen routine uses numpy. If you do p,e=m.eigen() then p is an array of eigenvalues and e is a matrix whose columns are eigenvectors. The documentation works fine in my local install not sure why it fails on sage.math Josh On Aug 3, 2:43 pm, Robert Bradshaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >

Linear algebra over RR is generic and, in many cases, really bad so far. Use RDF or even scipy unless you really need arbitrary precision. (If the RDF interface is inconsistent, fix it and send a patch :-) - Robert On Aug 1, 2007, at 6:28 AM, Robert Miller wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > I ha
