* Package name : cuba Version : 4.2 Upstream Author : Thomas Hahn * URL : http://www.feynarts.de/cuba/ * License : LGPL-3+ Programming Lang: C, C++, Fortran Description : library for multidimensional numerical integration The Cuba library provides new implementations of general-purpose multidimensional integration algorithms. While several algorithms are available for reliable one-dimensional numerical integration in modest time --see, e.g., QUADPACK from the GNU Scientific Library (GSL)--, the situation is less satisfactory for multidimensional integrals. The Cuba library offers a choice of four independent routines for multidimensional integration based on very different methods (both deterministic and Monte Carlo): Vegas, Suave, Divonne, and Cuhre. These algorithms are a significant improvement over alternatives already present in Debian (e.g., see the traditional Monte Carlo method and the Vegas and Miser adaptive algorithms from the GSL). A previous version of the library, libcuba3, was already in Debian but has been removed because ancient, RC buggy and low popcon [1]. I will maintain the package as a frequent user, and will ask support from a sponsor (a first package version will be uploaded on Debian Mentors [2]).
