Have you ever lied awake at night worrying whether your finite element discretization is stable? Well, worry no more: ASCoT will take care of the business for you!

ASCoT is an automated stability condition tester with emphasis on saddle point problems. It automatically generates and examines the Babuska or Brezzi stability conditions for a given discretization family through solving a series of eigenvalue problems.

ASCoT is a python module built on top of DOLFIN. It requires DOLFIN to be compiled with python and SLEPc support.
