The Chebfun team is pleased to announce the release of Chebfun
v5.7.0 for numerical computing with functions in 1D, 2D, and 3D,
available at www.chebfun.org or github.com/chebfun/chebfun.
The new release includes three major new capabilities:
* SPINSPHERE for reaction-diffusion equations on the sphere
* MINIMAX, most powerful code available for best rational approximation
* RANDNFUN/2/SPHERE/DISK for generating random functions
The random functions come with a new section of examples of
random ODEs at our web site http://www.chebfun.org.
In addition there are some other notable changes in Chebfun:
* Vectorization now allows f*g instead of f.*g, etc.
* PLOTCOEFFS has a new look and feel
* ZEBRA option for black/white plots in 2D or on the sphere
* ROOTS now computes zero curves in 2D to high accuracy
* L - lambda*eye(L) and other algebra for chebops
* L' as an alternative to ADJOINT(L)
* ROTATE for fast rotation of a spherefun (exploiting fast NUFFT)
* ARROWPLOT for putting arrowheads on planar trajectories
* Updated class diagram
