Summary

  • Fix "ODE's" to "ODEs" in the paper title.
  • Correct the GPOPS-II description: it is a MATLAB-only package, not "MATLAB and C++".
  • Soften the shooting method claim from "converges to arbitrary precision" to "converges to a prescribed numerical tolerance".
  • Reword the direct/indirect methods trade-off as typical use cases rather than categorical limitations.
  • Protect "Julia" capitalization in four paper.bib entries so it isn't rendered lowercase in the reference list.

Addresses the editorial comment on openjournals/joss-reviews#10630: openjournals/joss-reviews#10630 (comment)

Closes #957

Note: paper.pdf was left untouched; the editorialbot regenerates the proof from paper.md/paper.bib on request (@editorialbot generate pdf).

Test plan

  • Reviewed full diff of paper.md and paper.bib for correctness.
  • Editorialbot regenerates the PDF proof and it renders as expected.

MATLAB and C++), soften the shooting method convergence claim, reword
the direct/indirect methods characterization as typical use cases, and
protect "Julia" capitalization in four bibliography entries.
