Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python-sparse-examples on Ubuntu 18.04.
What is python-sparse-examples
python-sparse-examples is:
This package provides documents and examples for python-sparse, a set of sparse matrix types for Python, with modules which implement:
- Iterative methods for solving linear systems of equations
- A set of standard preconditioners
- An interface to a direct solver for sparse linear systems of equations
- The JDSYM eigensolver
All of these modules are implemented as C extension modules based on standard sparse and dense matrix libraries (UMFPACK/AMD, SuperLU, BLAS/LAPACK) for maximum performance.
