        I think you mixed up with LINPACK and ARPACK, which gives many linear 
algorithms, just like comput eigen values and so on.

        Then, the question must not be : why is it not in uBLAS, which is a 
reimplementation of the BLAS library. The question probably got to be : 
why not reimplement LINPACK and ARPACK in Boost ? As far as I am 
concern, this is a good idea and if the project is starting, I will be 
glad to give the help I can. But this probably got to be debated on 
developers list.

        Best regards.
