How to use it?

This software should run with any reasonably recent version of Matlab.

FIXME: Be more specific. Make it work on Octave too.

Start Matlab from the root of the project: the initialization script (startup.m) will automatically start, download the dependencies and then set the path. (If Matlab is already started, you can run startup.m manually.)

Then have a look at the script directory, which contains all the scripts needed to reproduce the results of the article.

Directory layout

The code is organized as follows: * BenchmarkFunctions: test cases * CplxGPR: main functions implementing the proposed method * dependencies: helper function for dependencies * scripts: scripts to reproduce the results * utils: various helper functions, wrapper for other methods, etc.

Dependencies

This software has three dependencies: Chebfun, STK, and VFIT3.

Only STK is actually needed to use the proposed method. The other two (Chebfun, VFIT3) provide the state-of-the-art methods AAA and vector fitting, used in the benchmarking scripts.

The startup script will automatically download, on its first run, a suitable version of each dependency. For Chebfun and STK, this is done by cloning the git repository (therefore git is needed). For VFIT3, the downloaded file is checked for correctness using its SHA1 checksum (on Linux/Mac, sha1sum is needed for that).

If for some reason the startup script does not work for you, you can alternatively download manually the source code for each of the dependencies and unpack inside the dependencies directory with a suitable directory name (cf. startup.m). * Chebfun: https://github.com/chebfun/chebfun/archive/refs/heads/master.zip * STK: https://github.com/n-georg/stk/archive/refs/heads/lm-param.zip * VFIT3: https://www.sintef.no/globalassets/project/vectfit/vfit3.zip
