Subject: [Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#471273: Section 14.1.4: Rational
Approximations
Organization: The Debian Project
X-Mailer: Evolution 2.12.3
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello Octave Maintainers,
I've noticed that in the octave documentation section 14.1.4
documented
a pair of functions used to generate rational approximations.
Section 14 concerns Input and Output and Sect 14.1 is for Basic Input
and Output, so it looked to me that Sect 14.1.4 had got misplaced
somehow.
After raising the matter with the Debian octave maintainers, we
figured
the Rational Approximations were probably in that Section because they
can be used as an option to the format() function, Sec 14.1.1.
I'm bringing the question to you then, to confirm if you really do
want
to confine these functions to output only, or whether they have any
other broader uses that might warrant placing them in some other
section
(e.g. Number Theory) ?
Regards,
Drew Parsons
I can't find anything that resembles what is described in the current
manual.
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/
Specifically what is the pair of functions? ... are they among expm,
logm, sqrtm, kron, and syl?
If so, it appears the problem has been resolved.

If not, please let the list know what the names of the pair of
functions would be.
Ben
