173.0. "PD Software from ARPAnet" by REX::MINOW () Tue Oct 29 1985 12:26

The following was re-distributed by the Unix-Wizards mailing list.
I've sent off for an index, and will post it when it arrives.
Looks like a nice way to distribute software.

Martin.

Subj:	netlib software

      Public domain software can be obtained free of charge via
electronic mail from
                        netlib@anl-mcs
To obtain an index of available software libraries send the line

                        send index

to the above address. The collection icludes LINPACK, MINPACK,
ACM Mathematical Software Collection and similar other libraries.
Index for a single library may be obtained by a request of the form

                        send index for quadpack

and individual routines by

                        send dqag from quadpack

The requests wake up a server and the material is sent by return mail.

The netlib service is meant for the individual user and does not send
entire libraries.
Further information about the syntax of requests can be obtained from
Aivars Celmins VLD.

Here's the netlib index referred to in .0 -- note that it seems to
be all Fortran stuff.

To examine the full index for any library send a request
to netlib of the form: 
  Send index from eispack

The default precision for the libraries will be double precision. 
If you would like the single precision version of the package, 
prefix the library name with an 's'. However, if the library 
only comes in only one precision that's what you will be sent.

To search for somebody in Gene Golub's address list:
  Who is Joan Doe?
displays entries containing "Joan" and "Doe".  (no spelling correction!)


EISPACK  A collection of Fortran subroutines that compute the eigenvalues 
         and eigenvectors of nine classes of matrices.  The package can 
         determine the eigensystems of complex general, complex Hermitian, 
         real general, real symmetric, real symmetric band, real symmetric 
         tridiagonal, special real tridiagonal, generalized real, and 
         generalized real symmetric matrices. In addition, there are two 
         routines which use the singular value decomposition to solve 
         certain least squares problems.
         Developed by the NATS Project at Argonne National Laboratory.
         (d.p. refer to eispack, s.p. refer to seispack)

FMM      Routines from the book Computer Methods for Mathematical
         Computations, by Forsythe, Malcolm, and Moler.
         Developed by George Forsythe, Mike Malcolm, and Cleve Moler.
         (d.p. refer to fmm, s.p. refer to sfmm)

FNLIB    Fullerton's special function library.
         Developed by Wayne Fullerton.
         (all precisions contained here)

LINPACK  A collection of Fortran subroutines that analyze and solve linear 
         equations and linear least squares problems.  The package solves 
         linear systems whose matrices are general, banded, symmetric 
         indefinite, symmetric positive definite, triangular, and tridiagonal 
         square.  In addition, the package computes the QR and singular value 
         decompositions of rectangular matrices and applies them to least 
         squares problems.
         Developed by Jack Dongarra, Jim Bunch, Cleve Moler and Pete Stewart.
         (all precisions contained here)

MINPACK	 A package of Fortran programs for the solution of systems of 
         nonlinear equations and nonlinear least squares problems.
	 Five algorithmic paths each include a core subroutine and an 
         easy-to-use driver.  The algorithms proceed either from an analytic 
         specification of the Jacobian matrix or directly from the problem 
         functions.  The paths include facilities for systems of equations 
         with a banded Jacobian matrix, for least squares problems with a 
         large amount of data, and for checking the consistency of the 
	 Jacobian matrix with the functions.
	 Developed by Jorge More', Burt Garbow, and Ken Hillstrom at 
         Argonne National Laboratory.
         (d.p. refer to minpack, s.p. refer to sminpack)

FFTPACK  A package of Fortran subprograms for the Fast Fourier
         Transform of periodic and other symmetric sequences
         This package consists of programs which perform Fast Fourier
         Transforms for both complex and real periodic sequences and
         certian other symmetric sequences.
         Developed by Paul Swarztrauber, at NCAR.

FISHPACK A package of Fortran subprograms providing finite difference
         approximations for elliptic boundary value problems.
         Developed by Paul Swarztrauber and Roland Sweet.

TOEPLITZ A package of Fortran subprograms for the solution of systems 
         of linear equations with coefficient matrices of Toeplitz or
         circulant form, and for orthogonal factorization of column-

PCHIP is a fortran package for piecewise cubic hermite inter-
     polation of data.  It features software to produce a monotone and
     "visually pleasing" interpolant to monotone data.  As is demon-
     strated in reference 1, such an interpolant may be more reasonable
     than a cubic spline if the data contains both "steep" and "flat"
     sections.  Interpolation of cumulative probability distribution
     functions is another application.
