Knut: a numerical continuation software
Its predecessor is PDDE-CONT that was intended to analyze bifurcations in delay differential equations. The change in name was necessary:
there is an already existing library with the similar name PDE-CONT (intended for partial differential equations)
PDDE-CONT was difficult to pronounce and was often thought to be referring to partial differential equations.
the package intends to have a wider scope than just delay differential equations.
The aims of this project are to extend Knut to many different types of dynamical systems, develop an easy to use graphical interface and easily interface with other scientific software.
Installation instructions
Dependencies are ATLAS, CMake, Qt, GiNaC, which depends on CLN.
To build the software use the following commands:
git clone git://gitorious.org/knut/knut.git
cd knut/knut
./mkrevision
mkdir build
cd build
../build-unix.sh
On Mac OSX replace the last command with ../build-mac.sh
To make an installable package use make frameworks and make dmg which will produce a disk image
On Fedora Linux with the MinGW cross-compiler installed the ../build-win-cross.sh will compile the software for Windows. To make a package use makensis wininstaller.nsi.
Please report any bugs and wishes by emailing me, I’ll try to address them as my time allows it.
