Sir/Mam,
I, Rishav Agarwal, am a sophomore studing at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India. I am interested in the working on implementing implicit routine for solving ODEs. I have done a semeser long on Numerical Methods in my third semester and am quite familiar with the algorithms used. Although I do not have much experience working with the Boost library, I am well aquaited with C++ and Python and can pick up the libraries easily.
I would appreciate if the probable mentor could guide me through the application process and tell me about any pre-requisite/tests that I need to clear which could strengthen my proposal.
Last year we had a small test about the coding skills and the odeint library. We will use this test this year again. I will sent it with a separate private mail. Implicit routines require to solve linear systems. I think, the main difficulty is to integrate these linear solvers into odeint such that they are exchangeable like the existing algebras and operations. This would be a good foundation to implement implicit routines and I would be happy if the BDF method could be implemented. Of course there are some other easier methods (implicit Euler) which could be implemented first. Prerequisites are a solid knowledge of the C++ template systems and a basic knowledge of the implicit algorithms.
A list of my previous projects can be found here http://github.com/rra94.
