MuPAD-Combinat consists of about 50000 lines of code in high level language, 15000 lines of C++ (plus 80000 lines of C imported from Symmetrica), 700 lines of tests, 350 pages of documentation (including 150 pages from mu-EC). The developing team includes 3 core developers (F. Hivert, M. N. Thiéry, as well as T. Gomez-Diaz, ingénieure de recherche (IGM) who joined us recently), and 3 contributers (J.-C. Novelli (CNRS, IGM), . Laugerotte and C. Carré (matres de conférence, LIFAR), plus the many authors of the software that were integrated. Over the last year, 500 messages were sent on the mailing-list, 150 of which coming from the MuPAD developers; there were 2000 visits of the web page and 200 downloads.
The package is distributed in source code under the LGPL open-source
license; some precompiled binaries are provided and the latest
developer version is available by anonymous CVS. It has been reported
to work, at least in the main lines, on all the operating systems for
which MuPAD is available (Linux and other major UNIXes, Windows,
MacOS X). We refer to the web page mupad-combinat.sf.net
for
precise requirements, download instructions, CVS access, mailing
lists, bugzilla report forms, and so on.
Most of the code derives from successful computer exploration while doing research on the following topics:
combinat
library provides
combinatorial functions, as well as tools for counting, generating,
and manipulating classical combinatorial classes (partitions,
compositions, tableaux, trees, ...). This includes in particular
the former CS library, under the name
combinat::decomposableObjects
.
IPC
library provides some tools for
Inter-Process Communications.
operators
library provides some
tools for defining conversions and overloaded functions as well as
for extending functions by linearity, associativity, ...
Dom
for
algebraic structures such as permutation groups, boolean and
tropical semi-rings, or weighted automata.
examples
. You can also browse through the
experimental
stuff but this is at your
own risk.
muEC::PART
- library for partitions
muEC::COMP
- library for compositions
muEC::TYP
- library for type-checking of mu-EC objects
muEC::SG
- library for the symmetric group
muEC::SYMF
- library for symmetric functions
muEC::SFA
- library for symmetric functions on
different alphabets
muEC::SP
- library for simple and double Schubert
polynomials
The package mu-EC is provided as-is, to ensure backward
compatibility for former users of mu-EC. Its functionnalities are
not yet fully integrated. For example,
muEC::PART::ListPart
is redundant with
combinat::partitions::list
; in the long
run, all the functionalities of muEC::PART
which are missing in combinat::partitions
should be moved
into the latter which has a better and more systematic design.
