Description

Hi Matt, thank you for this software package. I was wondering if there is a way to specify partial dynamics that are projected on a lower-dimensional space. For example, instead of xdot = f(t,x,u), we specify E*xdot = f(t,x,u) where E is a matrix of size (m,n) where m<n so f will be [m,1].

Normally, E is eye(n,n) and f is [n,1] but if we know dynamics only for some part of the state, then we can use an E to do the trick.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the dynamics specification and its existing tests, then determine how projected E*xdot dynamics would fit the current interface. Done would require an agreed API and coverage for an m<n E case.
