== SPQR Interface == | |||
Octave implements QR factorization for sparse matrices, but it does so with an older "CXSPARSE" library. This has caused fundamental issues, including segfaults as recorded here (bugs {{bug|51950}} and {{bug|57033}}). The goal of this project is to program an interface to the API for the SQPR library (http://faculty.cse.tamu.edu/davis/suitesparse.html). This is the same library that Matlab uses for this purpose. | |||

*Improve QR factorization by replacing CXSPARSE code with SPQR code, and make the linear solve return 2-norm solutions for ill-conditioned matrices based on this new code | |||
