Open structure (easy interfacing with Fortran and C via online dynamic
link).
Linear Algebra (including sparse matrices, Kronecker form,
ordered Schur,...).
Control (Classical, LQG, H-infinity,...).
Package for LMI (Linear Matrix Inequalities) optimization.
Signal processing.
Simulation (various ode's, dassl,...).
Optimization (differentiable and non-differentiable, LQ solver).
Scicos, an interactive environment for modeling
and simulation of hybrid systems.
Metanet (network analysis and optimization).
Symbolic capabilities through Maple interface.
