Re: [eigen] Student contribution

[BRUN Gauthier <brunga@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gael,

Thank you for your answer.
We have decided to improve the current SVD. We will have to present our 
work between the 17th and the 20th of June, and we would expect a 
feedback from the community before the presentation.
We have never implemented any SVD, nonetheless we have already used it 
in Statistics (PCA). Also doing research on the algorithm is a part of 
our project.
We are familiar with devide-and-conquer method.

Best regards,

Gauthier Brun, Nicolas Carre, Jean Ceccato and Pierre Zoppitelli.
