Future work

Poscidyn is still under active development and has not yet reached its full potential. This page outlines the planned enhancements and long-term vision for the package.

Planned Enhancements

• Oscillator models
  Extension of the built-in model library to include additional canonical systems such as the Van der Pol, Lorenz, and Rayleigh oscillators.

• Parametric excitation
  Support for parametric excitation mechanisms, enabling the study of parametrically driven systems.

• Solvers
  Integration of additional solvers, including shooting methods and potentially standard continuation techniques, while preserving Poscidyn’s ability to batch computations efficiently.

• Visualization tools
  Built-in plotting and visualization utilities for common analyses, such as phase-space trajectories, frequency response curves, and time-domain responses.

• Sweep methods
  Development of more physically motivated synthetic sweep strategies to better emulate experimental frequency sweep behavior for non-continuation methods.

Long-Term Ideas

• Hybrid approaches
  Combination of multistart batching with localized continuation methods, for example by segmenting sweeps and performing parallel continuations.
