GSoC 2022 Ode15{i,s}

Hello everyone!

I am Sarrah Bastawala, a second year undergraduate engineering student pursuing Bachelors in Information Technology in Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute.

I am excited to announce that I will be spending my summer completing the Ode15{i,s}: Matlab Compatible ODE Solvers project for GNU Octave under Google summer of Code ’22. This project involves improving the implemented solvers with more efficient algorithms for helper functions, interpolation and extended support for data types, precision and Octave’s own data structures and classes for use by Sundial’s solvers, whilst staying true to Octave’s claim of providing its users with a Matlab compatible interface . The approach to fulfill this is in 3 major segments : the decic function, extended support for data types, solvers and precision, improving interpolation and adding missing functions.

In this blog, I will be posting my updates and learnings to document my progress this summer.

To begin with, I will once again start studying the research paper deeply that I referred to during my proposal to improve the implementation and discuss it with my mentor.
