contains the following:
* The acdc algorithm for finding the
approximate general (non-orthogonal)
joint diagonalizer (in the direct Least Squares sense) of a set of Hermitian matrices.
[acdc.m]
* The acdc algorithm for finding the
same for a set of Symmetric matrices.
[acdc_sym.m](note that for real-valued matrices the Hermitian and Symmetric cases are similar however, in such cases the Hermitian version
[acdc.m], rather than the Symmetric version[acdc_sym] is preferable.
* A function that finds an initial Guess
for acdc by applying hard-whitening
followed by Cardoso s orthogonal joint
diagonalizer. Note that acdc may also
be called without an initial Guess,
in which case the initial Guess is set by default to the identity matrix.
The m-file includes the joint_diag
function (by Cardoso) for performing
the orthogonal part.

Do you have a mobile phone? We think you probably do, one way or another. We
would also Guess that you might use it for many diff erent things in the course of your
everyday life—as a telephone certainly, but also as an address book, as a clock or
watch, as a camera, or now as a connection to your computer, email and the internet.
Th ere will be a range of people you use it to contact (or not), and various strategies
you use to take calls—or send texts, or take photos, or receive emails, or search online
(or not, in diff erent situations). Th ere are also likely to be a range of social relation-
ships in your life that your mobile phone helps to maintain—or disrupts, or inter-
venes in, or makes possible, or complicates, or just plain helps to handle.
