26 Nov 2009 StructDlg - Structure based GUI definition A structure based definition of an input GUI. Author: Alon Fishbach

Nice tool, though I encountered an obscure bug that froze matlab when I passed it a bad input, e.g. S.a={{true}};StructDlg(S)

To close it without killing matlab had to press Ctrl-C (to restore command-line access) then type closereq (because the usual CloseRequestFcn is overridden).

21 Sep 2009 All Permutations of integers with sum criteria All Pernutations of integers with sum criteria Author: Bruno Luong

Nice program. Users might also be interested in a looped solution using the function "nextwhile" in the NextVector toolbox <pre class="link">http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/24757&lt;/pre&gt;. If the entire matrix of combinations is needed then Bruno's version is faster (because row concatenation is slow) otherwise the looped solution is faster.

Nice work
14 Sep 2009 Blendenpik A fast solver of dense rectangular dense linear equations . (least squares or underdetermined). Author: Haim Avron

This is potentially a novel and useful algorithm but I couldn't get it to install because it seems to require a separate installation of FFTW C libraries, even though FFTW already comes with MATLAB and is used by the built-in version of FFT.

Also there is no mention of how the results compare in accuracy and speed against the built-in solves least-squares "\", so why go to the trouble of getting it to work?

Can you post the results of benchmarking against "\" please?

Please ignore my previous thought as it is incorrect !!

Nice utility! Just a thought, for numerical vectors, this might be more convenient:

C = union(A,B) ;
res = C(histc(A,C) > histc(B,C))

To deal with rows of matrices or cell array strings, one could convert A and B into indices using, e.g., the third output of unique.
