TestLandscapes.jl

Julia implementations of basic potential energy landscapes for testing sampling, optimization, etc.

This package can be added with the command:

(@v1.XYZ) pkg> add TestLandscapes

Currently, these landscapes are in dimensions one and two, but they allow for exploration of multiple minima, along with energetic and entropic bottlenecks.

These codes do not include derivatives. These can be obtained using ForwardDiff, https://github.com/JuliaDiff/ForwardDiff.jl
