Sage Days 24 Coding Sprint Projects
This is a list of projects suitable for Sage Days 24. Feel free to add your favourite ideas/wishes, and to put your name down for something you're interested in (you'll need to get an account on the wiki to do this).
Contents
Kovacic's Algorithm
People: Burcin Erocal
Implement Kovacic's algorithm in Sage.
Hypergeometric Functions
People: Flavia Stan, Karen Kohl, Fredrik Johansson
Plural support
People: Burcin Erocal
Add support for Singular's noncommutative component Plural, finish #4539.
Locapal support
People: Burcin Erocal
There is experimental support for computing Groebner bases over certain localizations of operator algebras in Singular. See this presentation for more details. Support for arithmetic needs to be provided in Sage.
Parallel Integration
People: Burcin Erocal
Integrate Stefan Boettner's parallel integration code in Sage. There are several prerequisites for this, such as
algebraic function fields (transcendence degree > 1)
- differential rings/fields
- proper to_polynomial(), to_rational() functions for symbolic expressions
Algorithmic/Automatic Differentiation
People: William Stein
I never thought much of this topic, but there is a talk at Euroscipy suggesting it could be useful. More details here.
Upgrade Pari to version 2.4.3
People: William Stein
See trac 9343. This has little to do with symbolic computation though...
Function Fields
The goal of this project is to get the basic infrastructure for function fields into Sage. See Hess's papers and talks.
People: William Stein, Maarten Derickx, Peter Bruin, Jan Tuitman, Max Flander, Tanja Lange, Michiel Kosters, Christiane Peters, Marco Streng
Trac 9054: Create a class for basic function_field arithmetic for Sage
Trac 9069: Weak Popov Form (reduction algorithm)
Trac 9094: is_square and sqrt for polynomials and fraction fields
Trac 9095: Heights of points on elliptic curves over function fields
