Hi John et al.,
Moving this discussion here as requested. I'm a bit surprised by the
name change. It's a bit of a problem since in the ACM TOMS paper on the
algorithm, I wrote:
Algorithm 3 was reimplemented in the C programming language as
cquad for both the GNU Scientific Library [Galassi et al. 2009]
and in Octave [Eaton 2002] (using the native Oct-File interface)
and is available from within both projects.
So, if possible, I would prefer it being re-re-named to cquad... Or were
there reasons for this of which I am unaware?
I had also submitted, a while back, a set of patches for the
documentation, adding the exact reference to the paper:
@cite{P. Gonnet, "Increasing the Reliability of Adaptive
Quadrature Using Explicit Interpolants", ACM Transactions on
Mathematical Software, Vol. 37, Issue 3, Article Nr. 3, 2010}
but this doesn't seem to have made it in. Could this be added too?
Many thanks and sorry for being a bother about this,
Pedro
