Tutorial Overview
XPPLORE (pronounced 'explore') is a MATLAB toolbox that simplifies the
management of XPPAUT calculations. Specifically, XPPLORE aims to create
user-friendly and organized structures of XPPAUT's model, simulation and
continuation calculations to facilitate further analyses and exploration.
One of the main advantages of this toolbox is the parsing of continuation
results exported in .auto files. We wanted to create a platform where the user is
able to access the wide range of AUTO data for performing in-depth analyses.
It can facilitate the generation of surfaces starting from continuation results,
post-processing analyses such as averaging, and other explorative tasks. In
addition, XPPLORE is a toolbox that can generate high-quality images for
scientific publications for students, researchers and others working with ODE based
dynamical systems and XPPAUT. We designed this software package with
the user in mind, and emphasize the customizability and flexibility of XPPLORE
functions within the familiar MATLAB environment.
Accompanying material
Our DSWeb 2024 Contest submission in the XPPLORE Dropbox folder includes
the following:
- XPPLORE Text Guide: A detailed text overview of our software package
with examples illustrating core functions and applications.
- Code and Demos: A folder consisting of the XPPLORE software package
with a subfolder DEMOs dedicated to the demonstrations covered in
the Text Guide.
Publication Note
Our program is an extension of the XPPAUT software, and we are in the process
of developing a manuscript about our software package for publication in a journal
this year. As "all appropriate submissions will be published on DSWeb,"
we have gotten in touch with Korana Burke and received permission to only
have the text in the Tutorial Overview and the diagram in this document
published to the website for now. We will notify DSWeb as soon as our publication
is available to then upload our full package to DSWeb. We greatly appreciate your
understanding in this matter.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to [email protected] or
[email protected] with any questions. We are very excited to be submitting to the
DSWeb contest and thank you very much for your time and consideration!
