Can Databanks for Advanced Nonlinear Models "Synergize" Modelling Efforts across Fields?

Basic data for this project

Description

In our pilot project, we aim to specify the requirements for a general database for advanced (nonlinear) models and their solutions, and to develop an appropriate framework. Such a database should, on the one hand, allow for the many models, scalings, and parameter studies that exist across various sciences and between the contributions of different groups, to be situated within a higher-level order. On the other hand, the structure should enable the versatile conversion between models in different scalings and between the resulting data, thereby making individual data and solution structures (known as bifurcation diagrams) reusable for everyone. To this end, it must first be demonstrated that three hurdles we have identified can be overcome: diversity (i) of nonlinear models, (ii) of used scalings/parameterizations, and (iii) of representations of numerically obtained solution structures in different publications.
