bSTAB: an open-source software for computing the basin stability of multi-stable dynamical systems

Abstract The pervasiveness of multi-stability in nonlinear dynamical systems calls for novel concepts stability and a consistent quantification long-term behavior. basin is global metric that builds on estimating the attraction volumes by Monte Carlo sampling. computation involves extensive numerical time integrations, attractor characterization, clustering trajectories. We introduce , an open-source software project aims at enabling researchers to efficiently compute their with minimal efforts highly automated manner. source code, available https://github.com/TUHH-DYN/bSTAB/ programming language featuring parallelization distributed computing, sensitivity bifurcation analysis as well plotting functionalities. illustrate versatility robustness four canonical from several fields dynamics periodic chaotic dynamics, complicated multi-stability, non-smooth fractal basins attraction. projects fostering interdisciplinary scientific collaborations field driven interaction contribution community package.
