DiffMan

an object oriented MATLAB toolbox for solving differential equations on manifolds

About the DiffMan Project

DiffMan is a MATLAB toolbox for solving ordinary differential equations on manifolds, based on the concept of 'Coordinate Free Numerics'. This is, loosely speaking, the idea that (whenever possible) it is important to formulate numerical algorithms generically, independently of special representations and coordinate systems. DiffMan inherits its basic design philosophy from the C++ package SOPHUS. The SOPHUS project was initiated by Magne Haveraaen and Hans Munthe-Kaas, University of Bergen, and is aimed at solving tensor field equations on sequential and parallel computers.

The DiffMan project was initiated within the SYNODE project.
