[SciPy-Dev] participating in GSoC'20?

[Nicolas Cellier]

Hello.

As topic ideas, it could be good to use the (not so) recent scipy.integrate.solve_ivp interface to implement more modern ODE solvers (like SSP, Rosenbrock Wanner). The goal could be to provide more efficient solvers as the one available with the Julia equivalent library (DifferentialEquation.jl if I remember well).
An other idea could be the implementation of Jacobian coloring and sparsity detection. They are really useful tools that can highly improve methods implying Jacobian computation. (see https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/ae4d/65769b6551a51d6fc6be2f021515bffa0798.pdf (https://link.getmailspring.com/link/24B42FCB-710D-45BB-B6ED-F80BE6EFB6A5@getmailspring.com/0?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fpdfs.semanticscholar.org%2Fae4d%2F65769b6551a51d6fc6be2f021515bffa0798.pdf&recipient=c2NpcHktZGV2QHB5dGhvbi5vcmc%3D) for a reference on Jacobian coloring).
Cheers,

We do need some volunteers to mentors though, and ideally also someone to admin (I'm pretty swamped). Any takers? Any good topic ideas?
