yes, you are right it is a non trivial project, but you should consider that the
library we proposed to use as a backend already implements exactly the same
algorithm as
ode15s.
It seems quite hard to do a lot more than get a really good and well tested
implementation of ode15s, with all the features such as event detection and
documentation. However, maybe a lot of the code exists already, I don't know
the detail of the ode solver implementations and how much can be reused.
sundials has all that and even more, there is no need to reuse code just write
a good interface.
that said, I admit it is definitely not a trivial task to add yet another
external dependency
library to core...
there will be a lot of difficulties with stuff such as writing DLD_FUNs, using
mercurial, making
autotools tests, etc.
would you like / have time to contribute to mentoring this part of the work, if
we find a good student?
