leslie

N by N matrix from Leslie population model with average birth and survival rates.

Generates a variety of structured test matrices commonly used in numerical linear algebra and computational experiments. Includes well-known matrices for benchmarking and testing the performance, stability, and accuracy of linear algebra algorithms. Inspired by 'MATLAB' 'gallery' functions.
