Description

Implement an implicit solver for the diffusion equation as in GRIDobj.diffusion. This uses sparse linear algebra functions from MATLAB, so it will require some thought on how we might implement this within libtopotoolbox.

Research direction

Start by studying the MATLAB GRIDobj.diffusion implementation and the existing libtopotoolbox structure. Investigate available sparse linear algebra support before deciding how the implicit diffusion solver fits into the library. Done means libtopotoolbox provides an implementation with behavior corresponding to GRIDobj.diffusion.
