I need to do some 'simple' transformations on a 260x260 matrix of floating point values, but Mathematica does not seem to like it too much. When pasting the matrix into Mathematica from a text file, I inserted return signs in order not to exceed the maximum size allowed for a line. Doing this allowed me to paste it. Assigning the matrix do a variable, i.e. evaluating it, results in error messages on the console indicating "hash invariants" and a blow-up of the swapspace. Are there known limits to the size of a matrix and can they be increased? I'm aware that I'm dealing with lots of memory and am willing to allocate the appropriate swapspace, but I have the feeling that simply assigning a matrix to a variable should not cause the problem. Thanks for any suggestions, Axel ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Axel Merk "One needs a certain amount of blindness -- -- agm@cs.brown.edu to see perfection" - Christopher Nuzum -- -- phone/fax (401)272 2262 Brown University Box 53 Providence RI 02912 -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
