ASCEND is a free open-source software program for solving small to very large mathematical models. ASCEND can solve systems of non-linear equations, linear and nonlinear optimisation problems, and dynamic systems expressed in the form of differential/algebraic equations.
There is an ASCEND Overview with more information about ASCEND capabilities. Alternatively, you can look at some screenshots or some example problems solved using ASCEND.
News: ASCEND is migrating to Github, with new CI via Github Actions. (more news)
In this wiki...
- some new user's documentation (in progress)
- some information on the various ASCEND solvers.
- the Worked examples and the model library for some examples of what you can do with ASCEND.
- information on Building ASCEND from the source code
- information about extending ASCEND using external libraries.
- read about current Development activities.
- the Developer's Manual in progress.
- some ideas for Student Projects working on ASCEND.
- please report a bug if you find one.
This wiki is open to contributions from anyone. All we ask is that you register with your email address. Note that there is some earlier content from our previous website gradually being migrated to this wiki.
