The project Continuation Core and Toolboxes (COCO
) is a Matlab-based development platform that provides a large amount of standard functionality required for investigating bifurcation and constrained optimization problems and implementing toolboxes for new types of problems. The textbook Recipes for Continuation and the journal article Methods of continuation and their implementation in the COCO software platform with application to delay differential equations describes the underlying mathematics, algorithm development, command-line interface, and toolbox construction in great detail.
Follow this link for a series of video tutorials illustrating the installation and use of COCO
and COCO
toolboxes.
Please follow this link for information on how to install COCO
on your personal computer by downloading the most recent release from the SourceForge repository.
Please follow this link for a summary of the functionality of production-ready COCO
-compatible toolboxes. Note that, in addition, the textbook Recipes for Continuation and the associated code provides in-depth analysis of the toolbox development process in the context of several partially developed toolboxes.
Code documentation may in many cases be displayed by typing help followed by the function name on the command line. Additional documentation is also available in Recipes for Continuation.
