About

RoDoBo is a Software Package for Solving Optimization Problems Governed by Stationary and Nonstationary Partial Differential Equations with Interface to the Finite Element Toolkit Gascoigne.

Concept

This C++ library is developed for complex optimal control and parameter identification problems.

It combines modern optimization techniques for large scale problems with established numerical methods for solving partial differential equations.
