Cosmological exploitation of cosmic void statistics - New numerical
  tools in the CosmoBolognaLib to extract cosmological constraints from the
  void size function
  We present new numerical tools to analyse cosmic void catalogues, implemented
inside the CosmoBolognaLib, a large set of Open Source C++/Python numerical
libraries. The CosmoBolognaLib provides a common numerical environment for
cosmological calculations. This work extends these libraries by adding new
algorithms for cosmological analyses of cosmic voids, covering the existing gap
between theory and observations. We implemented new methods to model the size
function of cosmic voids, in both observed and simulated samples of dark matter
and biased tracers. Moreover, we provide new numerical tools to construct
unambiguous void catalogues. The latter are designed to be independent of the
void finder, in order to allow a high versatility in comparing independent
results. The implemented Open Source software is available at the GitHub
repository https://github.com/federicomarulli/CosmoBolognaLib. We provide also
a full doxygen documentation and some example codes that explain how to use
these libraries.
