Agda is a dependently typed functional programming language: It has inductive families, which are like Haskell's GADTs, but they can be indexed by values and not just types. It also has parameterised modules, mixfix operators, Unicode characters, and an interactive Emacs interface (the type checker can assist in the development of your code).

Agda is also a proof assistant: It is an interactive system for writing and checking proofs. Agda is based on intuitionistic type theory, a foundational system for constructive mathematics developed by the Swedish logician Per Martin-Löf. It has many similarities with other proof assistants based on dependent types, such as Coq, Epigram and NuPRL.

This is a meta package which provides Agda's emacs mode, executable, standard library and its documentation.

AUTO can do a limited bifurcation analysis of algebraic systems of the form

  f(u,p) = 0,  f,u in Rn
and of systems of ordinary differential equations of the form
  u'(t) = f(u(t),p),  f,u in Rn
subject to initial conditions, boundary conditions, and integral

constraints. Here p denotes one or more parameters. AUTO can also do certain continuation and evolution computations for parabolic PDEs. It also includes the software HOMCONT for the bifurcation analysis of homoclinic orbits. AUTO is quite fast and can benefit from multiple processors; therefore it is applicable to rather large systems of differential equations.

The linear programming (LP) problem can be formulated as: Solve A.x >= V1, with V2.x maximal. A is a matrix, x is a vector of (nonnegative) variables, V1 is a vector called the right hand side, and V2 is a vector specifying the objective function.

An integer linear programming (ILP) problem is an LP with the constraint that all the variables are integers. In a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem, some of the variables are integer and others are real.

The program lp_solve solves LP, ILP, and MILP problems. It is slightly more general than suggested above, in that every row of A (specifying one constraint) can have its own (in)equality, <=, >= or =. The result specifies values for all variables.

lp_solve uses the 'Simplex' algorithm and sparse matrix methods for pure LP problems. If one or more of the variables is declared integer, the Simplex algorithm is iterated with a branch and bound algorithm, until the desired optimal solution is found. lp_solve can read MPS format input files.

A convex polyhedron is the set of points satisfying a finite family of linear inequalities. The study of the vertices and extreme rays of such systems is important and useful in e.g. mathematics and optimization.

Lrs (lexicographic reverse search) has two important features that can be very important for certain applications: it works in exact arithmetic, and it consumes memory proportional to the input, no matter how large the output is.

This package provides the Prover9 resolution/paramodulation theorem prover and the Mace4 countermodel generator.

Prover9 is an automated theorem prover for first-order and equational logic. It is a successor of the Otter prover. Prover9 uses the inference techniques of ordered resolution and paramodulation with literal selection.

The program Mace4 searches for finite structures satisfying first-order and equational statements, the same kind of statement that Prover9 accepts. If the statement is the denial of some conjecture, any structures found by Mace4 are counterexamples to the conjecture.

Mace4 can be a valuable complement to Prover9, looking for counterexamples before (or at the same time as) using Prover9 to search for a proof. It can also be used to help debug input clauses and formulas for Prover9.

This is the legacy version of DOLFIN, you may want to install the next-generation python3-dolfinx (DOLFIN-X) instead.

The FEniCS Form Compiler FFC provides state-of-the-art automatic and efficient evaluation of general multilinear forms (variational formulations) for FEniCS. FFC functions as the form evaluation system for DOLFIN but can also be used to compile forms for other systems.

FFC works as a compiler for multilinear forms by generating code (C or C++) for the evaluation of a multilinear form given in mathematical notation. This new approach to form evaluation makes it possible to combine generality with efficiency; the form can be given in mathematical notation and the generated code is as efficient as hand-optimized code.

This package installs the legacy FFC library for Python 3.

You may want to consider installing python3-ffcx instead to get the next-generation FFC-X.

• propagate uncertainties and/or analyse sensitivity and
• rank the sources of uncertainty

Targeted users are all engineers who want to introduce the probabilistic dimension in their so far deterministic studies.

This package provides the Python3 bindings to the library.

Persalys is a graphical user interface for OpenTURNS, dedicated to the treatment of uncertainty and the management of variabilities. The software is a tool between the computer simulation, probabilistic analyses and the data sciences. The interface is available in French or in English.

Persalys allows one to:

• create mathematical models: analytical, coupling with an external model (finite elements, ...), FMU;
• analyse the variability of one's parameters thanks to many methods and visualisation tools;
• statistically analyse one's measuring data, infer probability distributions or create metamodels.

This package contains the Python3 bindings.
