GSL provides a wide range of mathematical routines such as random number generators, special functions and least-squares fitting. There are over 1000 functions in total with an extensive test suite.
The complete range of subject areas covered by the library includes: Roots of Polynomials, Special Functions, Complex Numbers, Vectors and Matrices, BLAS Support, Linear Algebra, Permutations, Sorting and much more.
What`s New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Upgraded to latest autoconf and automake (autoconf-2.64, automake-1.11)
· Fixed the rk4 and bspline allocators to avoid invalid free() calls under out of memory conditions. [bug #27194, #27236]
· Fixed a bug in gsl_multimin_fminimizer_nmsimplex2 where the center and size of the simplex were not updated on contract-by-best steps, causing failures in convergence. [bug #27180]
· Added new functions to set MISER and VEGAS Monte Carlo integration parameters, and to examine VEGAS chi-squared value and intermediate results.
· Added the function gsl_bspline_greville_abscissa to compute Greville abscissae for B-splines.
· The cumulative distribution functions gsl_cdf_gumbel1_{P,Q} should now handle a larger range of parameters without underflow and overflow.
· The header file gsl_const_cgs.h no longer defines values for electromagnetic units. Applications should use gsl_const_cgsm.h instead to obtain the values in the CGS-Magnetic system. The previous values for these units given in gsl_const_cgs.h wer...
