computation of eigenvalues in Neuron

[sabsan]

Hi everybody,
I am going to write a piece of code in Neuron in which I'll need to compute the zeros of a polynomial or the eigenvalues of a nonsymmetric matrix. I checked the User Guide but it seems that Neuron just computes the eigenvalues of symmetric matrices right now. Has anybody had similar problems in the past? Maybe a solution could be a library interfaced with Neuron but I've never done it. Do you have any idea? Thanks. Bye

You could write your own proc in hoc, and performance would be acceptable as long as
you only have to do it a few times and the matrix isn't too big. An alternative is to write the
code in C (with some extra bits to access hoc variables from C) and embed it in the
VERBATIM block of a mod file.
