Colin McQuillan

Proposal: http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/student_project/st_edit/google/gsoc2010/ascend/t127230757678

Mentor: John Pye

Proposal

ASCEND can numerically integrate a differential equation such as dx/dt = f(x). I plan to improve this functionality. In particular, I will add support for conditional statements. This will allow discontinuous changes in a dynamical system such as a phase transition.

Tasks

1. Improve the existing code setting up LINK statements for IDA. (~2 weeks)
2. Support boundary detection for IDA. (~ 2 weeks)
3. Implement some algorithm to help debug dynamical models, for example index analysis. (~ 4 weeks)

Milestones

• Colin quit the program before completing his project.
