I am looking to see if I can tap into Trilinos LOCA framework for bifurcation problems without having to reimplement all solver interfaces in my code. I noticed that Petsc currently is able to tap into the ML framework, so I am guessing there are interfaces available for Petsc and Trillions to work together. Would I be able to extend this to tap into LOCA?

   There are no explicit interfaces for LOCA/PETSc. Depending on how LOCA is written you may be able to still utilize the PETSc solvers underneath or there may not be. You would have to read the LOCA documentation to determine if it is possible.
