Re: [eigen] A 15-dimensional sparse matrix or tensor?

Hi Pavel,

mostly it will be addition and multiplication of the entries,
together with some operations involving the indices. This is still in
the design stages, so I will know more in the incoming weeks.

Thank you for your idea. Perhaps I will have to go with a unified
wrapper class, then try different underlying structures to see which
one works best.

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

best regards
Janek Kozicki
