So the question is: what other people do in situation like this and is there any paper(s) on linear algebra library design?
This response has absolutely nothing to do with Haskell, and not really anything to do with library design... Several years ago, when programming a system for 3D analysis from 2D camera data (a form of "terrestrial photogrammetry), I found this to be a most helpful reference work: Handbook for Automatic Computation, Volume II - Linear Algebra J.H. Wilkinson, C Reinsch Springer-Verlag, ISBN 3-540-05414-6, 1971 (!) It addresses a number of tricky computational topics in Linear Algebra, with what I found to be an excellent balance of theoretical background and practical engineering concerns. I'm not a student of numerical techniques, so I don't know whether this is now somewhat dated; indeed, I've no idea if it's still available, though I'd expect any decent technical library to have a (maybe dusty) copy somewhere. #g ------------ Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#Contact
