Subject: [boost] library proposal : odeint

Hi,

I proposed a library for solving ordinary differential equations some
months ago. Since this time, we have worked a lot on this topic and
we would like to start a discussion about the needs and the design of
the library.

The library odeint ("odeint" comes from integration of ordinary
differential equations ) can be found in the sandbox and some
preliminary documentation is also available:

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/odeint/
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/odeint/libs/numeric/odeint/doc/html/index.html

One of our main aims is the independence on a specific container or
array type, such that the library can work with ODEs defined on
arbitrary topologies, like networks, lattices , grids, etc.

So, any comments on this library are highly welcome, as well as
contributions (of any kind).

Best regards,

Karsten
