Hi Mario,
What are my plans for a GSoC? 1. There are still some parts of the library which are not satisfactorily designed and need to be rethought. This is where we could really need the help of an experienced mentor to create a clean, well structured library. 2. Add methods with varying order (burlisch stoer). 3. Add dense output and error control to the generic runge-kutta implementation. 4. Add convenience function that allow users an easier access to the libraries capabilities. 5. Create an observer interface that allows the user to analyze properties of the system while integrating the equations. 6. Make everything ready for a boos review.
I think that this sounds like a great project. I'm not sure how complex the various tasks are, so I couldn't say whether or not the plan is feasible, but I tend towards optimism :) I hope that we can find a mentor with some domain experience. If not, I might be able to help. I don't know a great deal about the domain, but I can help with design issues. I'm looking forward to seeing the full proposal. Andrew
