The integrator commands construct an integrator object, by which the system equation is to be solved.
I would like to read more about this topic. Would anyone like to recommend some references? Thanks.

Thanks. Could you please recommend a book covering the nonlinear finite element? Equation (3.2) in your thesis looks so abstract for me that I would like to read something with examples.
In opensees, for static analysis, there are load control, displacement control, arclength control, etc. methods that can be used. I want to know what these methods are.
