Calculus of Variations Solver
Project description
cva -- Calculus of Variations
=============================
The cva library (pronounced see-va) implements a solver for problems
in the domain of the calculus of variations. This includes such
problems as finding geodesics on arbitrary surfaces, finding minimal
paths in curved spacetime, or basically any path minimization problem
that can be defined in terms of a surface or hypersurface model with an
attached metric.
Quickstart
----
import cva
cva.examples.case01_torus()
----
Provides:
1. Models
2. Metrics
3. Views
4. Solver
Documentation:
1. Docstrings are provided with the library functions
2. A paper describing the mathematical foundations on which this
library is based is nearing release.
3. Runable examples are provided as starting points
Utilities:
do_test
run the cva test suite
