This Julia package aims at performing automatic bifurcation analysis of possibly large dimensional equations F(u, λ)=0 where λ is real by taking advantage of iterative methods, dense / sparse formulation and specific hardwares (e.g. GPU).
It incorporates continuation algorithms (PALC, deflated continuation, ...) based on a Newton-Krylov method to correct the predictor step and a Matrix-Free/Dense/Sparse eigensolver is used to compute stability and bifurcation points.
The idea is to be able to seamlessly switch the continuation algorithm a bit like changing the time stepper (Euler, RK4,...) for ODEs.
BifurcationKit can also seek for periodic orbits of Cauchy problems. It is by now, one of the only software which provides shooting methods and methods based on finite differences / collocation to compute periodic orbits.
The current focus is on large scale nonlinear problems and multiple hardwares. Hence, the goal is to provide Matrix Free methods on GPU (see PDE example and Periodic orbit example) or on cluster to study non linear PDE, nonlocal problems, compute sub-manifolds...
Despite this focus, the package can easily handle low dimensional problems and specific optimizations are regularly added.
