Description: # pycascades
        Python framework for simulating tipping cascades on complex networks
        
        pycascades is developed at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Potsdam, Germany.
        
        ## Introduction
        
        **Description paper:** N. Wunderling, J. Krönke, V. Wohlfarth, J. Kohler, J. Heitzig, A. Staal, S. Willner, R. Winkelmann, J.F. Donges, Modelling nonlinear dynamics of interacting tipping elements on complex networks: the PyCascades package, in review (2020).
        
        With pycascades, the dynamics of tipping elements on complex networks can be simulated and with that the preconditions for the emergence of tipping cascades. Two types of dynamical systems with bifurcations are pre-implemented: dynamical systems that possess a Cusp- or a Hopf-bifurcation. Further, arbitrary complex networks of tipping elements can be implemented, and three types of paradigmatic network structures can be used out of the box. These are Erdös-Rényi, Barabási-Albert and Watts-Strogatz networks. Further, stochastic processes can be added to the dynamics of the tipping elements such as Gaussian noise, Lévy our Cauchy processes. Lastly, three explicit examples showcase the capabilities of the pycascades software package: (i) The moisture recycling network of the Amazon rainforest, (ii) interacting climate tipping elements and (iii) an application to the global trade network.
