pathsim.optim.value module

pathsim.optim.value.der(arr, val)[source]

Compute the derivative of an array of ‘Value’ objects with respect to ‘val’, fallback to scalar case and non-‘Value’ objects

Parameters:
  • arr (array[Value]) – array or list of Values

  • val (Value) – dual number value for AD

Returns:

der – partial derivatives w.r.t. the ‘val’

Return type:

array[float]

pathsim.optim.value.jac(arr, vals)[source]

Compute the derivative of an array of ‘Value’ objects with respect to each ‘Value’ object in ‘vals’, fallback to scalars in both cases.

This effectively constructs the jacobian.

Parameters:
  • arr (array[Value]) – array or list of Values

  • vals (array[Value]) – array or list of Values

Returns:

jac – partial derivatives w.r.t. all values in ‘vals’, effectively the jacobian

Return type:

array[float]

pathsim.optim.value.var(arr, vals)[source]

Compute the variance of an array of ‘Value’ objects with respect to all the ‘Value’ objects in ‘vals’ using the standard deviations of the values and a first order taylor approximation using the partial derivatives.

Parameters:
  • arr (array[Value]) – array or list of Values

  • vals (array[Value]) – array or list of Values

Returns:

var – variance from taylor expansion w.r.t. all values in ‘vals’

pathsim.optim.value.autojac(fnc)[source]

Decorator that wraps a function such that it computes its jacobian alongside its evaluaiton.

Parameters:

fnc (callable) – function to wrap and compute jacobian of

pathsim.optim.value.add_funcs(cls)[source]

Decorator that adds numpy functions as methods to the Value class while overloading them with their analytical derivatives to propagate the gradient with the chain rule.

class pathsim.optim.value.Value(val=0.0, grad=None, sig=0.0)[source]

Bases: object

Dual number ‘Value’ definition for small autograd framework.

The dunder methods of the ‘Value’ class are overloaded to simultaneously compute the partial derivatives with respect to the instance itself and other instances of the value class.

This is realized by a dictionary that handles the reference tracking via the id of the ‘Value’ instances.

Example

Automatic differentiation of numpy functions:

import numpy as np

v = Value(3)

#AD
w = np.sin(v)

#reference
dw_dv = np.cos(v)

print(dw_dv == w(v))
#True

Automatic differentiation of concatenations:

import numpy as np

v = Value(2)

#AD
w = np.exp(np.sin(v) + v**3)

#reference
dw_dv = np.exp(np.sin(v) + v**3) * (np.cos(v) + 3*v**2)

print(dw_dv == w(v))
#True

Automatic differentiation with multiple values:

import numpy as np

u = Value(0.5)
v = Value(2)

#AD
w = u * v + np.sin(u + v)

#references
dw_du = v + np.cos(u + v)
dw_dv = u + np.cos(u + v)

print(dw_du == w(u), dw_dv == w(v))
#True True
Parameters:
  • val (float, int, complex) – The numerical value.

  • grad (defaultdict, None) – The gradient dictionary. If None, initializes with self derivative.

np.abs is a shorthand for this function.

Parameters:
  • x (array_like) – Input array.

  • out (ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional) – A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.

  • where (array_like, optional) – This condition is broadcast over the input. At locations where the condition is True, the out array will be set to the ufunc result. Elsewhere, the out array will retain its original value. Note that if an uninitialized out array is created via the default out=None, locations within it where the condition is False will remain uninitialized.

  • **kwargs – For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.

Returns:

absolute – An ndarray containing the absolute value of each element in x. For complex input, a + ib, the absolute value is \(\sqrt{ a^2 + b^2 }\). This is a scalar if x is a scalar.

Return type:

ndarray

Examples

>>> x = np.array([-1.2, 1.2])
>>> np.absolute(x)
array([ 1.2,  1.2])
>>> np.absolute(1.2 + 1j)
1.5620499351813308

Plot the function over [-10, 10]:

>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> x = np.linspace(start=-10, stop=10, num=101)
>>> plt.plot(x, np.absolute(x))
>>> plt.show()

Plot the function over the complex plane:

>>> xx = x + 1j * x[:, np.newaxis]
>>> plt.imshow(np.abs(xx), extent=[-10, 10, -10, 10], cmap='gray')
>>> plt.show()

The abs function can be used as a shorthand for np.absolute on ndarrays.

array([1.2, 1.2])
angle(deg=False)

Return the angle of the complex argument.

Notes

Although the angle of the complex number 0 is undefined, numpy.angle(0) returns the value 0.

Examples

  • out (ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional) – A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.

  • where (array_like, optional) – This condition is broadcast over the input. At locations where the condition is True, the out array will be set to the ufunc result. Elsewhere, the out array will retain its original value.

  • **kwargs – For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.

Returns:

angle – The angle of the ray intersecting the unit circle at the given x-coordinate in radians [0, pi]. This is a scalar if x is a scalar.

Return type:

ndarray

See also

cos, arctan, arcsin, emath.arccos

Notes

arccos is a multivalued function: for each x there are infinitely many numbers z such that cos(z) = x. The convention is to return the angle z whose real part lies in [0, pi].

For real-valued input data types, arccos always returns real output. For each value that cannot be expressed as a real number or infinity, it yields nan and sets the invalid floating point error flag.

For complex-valued input, arccos is a complex analytic function that has branch cuts [-inf, -1] and [1, inf] and is continuous from above on the former and from below on the latter.

The inverse cos is also known as acos or cos^-1.

expm1

Calculate exp(x) - 1 for all elements in the array.

exp2

Calculate 2**x for all elements in the array.

Notes

The irrational number e is also known as Euler’s number. It is approximately 2.718281, and is the base of the natural logarithm, ln (this means that, if \(x = \ln y = \log_e y\), then \(e^x = y\). For real input, exp(x) is always positive.

For complex arguments, x = a + ib, we can write \(e^x = e^a e^{ib}\). The first term, \(e^a\), is already known (it is the real argument, described above). The second term, \(e^{ib}\), is \(\cos b + i \sin b\), a function with magnitude 1 and a periodic phase.

log(1 + x), the inverse of expm1.

Notes

This function provides greater precision than exp(x) - 1 for small values of x.

Examples

The true value of exp(1e-10) - 1 is 1.00000000005e-10 to about 32 significant digits. This example shows the superiority of expm1 in this case.

>>> np.expm1(1e-10)
1.00000000005e-10
>>> np.exp(1e-10) - 1
1.000000082740371e-10
log

Natural logarithm, element-wise.

The natural logarithm log is the inverse of the exponential function, so that log(exp(x)) = x. The natural logarithm is logarithm in base e.

Parameters:
  • x (array_like) – Input value.

  • out (ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional) – A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.

  • where (array_like, optional) – This condition is broadcast over the input. At locations where the condition is True, the out array will be set to the ufunc result. Elsewhere, the out array will retain its original value. Note that if an uninitialized out array is created via the default out=None, locations within it where the condition is False will remain uninitialized.

  • **kwargs – For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.

Returns:

y – The natural logarithm of x, element-wise. This is a scalar if x is a scalar.

Return type:

ndarray

See also

log10, log2, log1p, emath.log

Notes

Logarithm is a multivalued function: for each x there is an infinite number of z such that exp(z) = x. The convention is to return the z whose imaginary part lies in (-pi, pi].

For real-valued input data types, log always returns real output. For each value that cannot be expressed as a real number or infinity, it yields nan and sets the invalid floating point error flag.

For complex-valued input, log is a complex analytical function that has a branch cut [-inf, 0] and is continuous from above on it. log handles the floating-point negative zero as an infinitesimal negative number, conforming to the C99 standard.

In the cases where the input has a negative real part and a very small negative complex part (approaching 0), the result is so close to -pi that it evaluates to exactly -pi.

Note that if an uninitialized out array is created via the default out=None, locations within it where the condition is False will remain uninitialized.

  • **kwargs – For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.

Notes

Logarithm is a multivalued function: for each x there is an infinite number of z such that 10**z = x. The convention is to return the z whose imaginary part lies in (-pi, pi].

Notes

Added in version 1.3.0.

Logarithm is a multivalued function: for each x there is an infinite number of z such that 2**z = x. The convention is to return the z whose imaginary part lies in (-pi, pi].

For real-valued input data types, log2 always returns real output. For each value that cannot be expressed as a real number or infinity, it yields nan and sets the invalid floating point error flag.

For complex-valued input, log2 is a complex analytical function that has a branch cut [-inf, 0] and is continuous from above on it. log2 handles the floating-point negative zero as an infinitesimal negative number, conforming to the C99 standard.

In the cases where the input has a negative real part and a very small negative complex part (approaching 0), the result is so close to -pi that it evaluates to exactly -pi.

Examples

>>> x = np.array([0, 1, 2, 2**4])
>>> np.log2(x)
array([-Inf,   0.,   1.,   4.])
>>> xi = np.array([0+1.j, 1, 2+0.j, 4.j])
>>> np.log2(xi)
array([ 0.+2.26618007j,  0.+0.j        ,  1.+0.j        ,  2.+2.26618007j])
power

First array elements raised to powers from second array, element-wise.

Raise each base in x1 to the positionally-corresponding power in x2. x1 and x2 must be broadcastable to the same shape.

An integer type raised to a negative integer power will raise a ValueError.

Negative values raised to a non-integral value will return nan. To get complex results, cast the input to complex, or specify the dtype to be complex (see the example below).

Parameters:
  • x1 (array_like) – The bases.

  • x2 (array_like) – The exponents. If x1.shape != x2.shape, they must be broadcastable to a common shape (which becomes the shape of the output).

  • out (ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional) – A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.

  • where (array_like, optional) – This condition is broadcast over the input. At locations where the condition is True, the out array will be set to the ufunc result. Elsewhere, the out array will retain its original value. Note that if an uninitialized out array is created via the default out=None, locations within it where the condition is False will remain uninitialized.

  • **kwargs – For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.

Returns:

y – The bases in x1 raised to the exponents in x2. This is a scalar if both x1 and x2 are scalars.

Return type:

ndarray

float_power

power function that promotes integers to float

Examples

Cube each element in an array.

>>> x1 = np.arange(6)
>>> x1
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> np.power(x1, 3)
array([  0,   1,   8,  27,  64, 125])

Raise the bases to different exponents.

>>> x2 = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0]
>>> np.power(x1, x2)
array([  0.,   1.,   8.,  27.,  16.,   5.])

The effect of broadcasting.

>>> x2 = np.array([[1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1], [1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1]])
>>> x2
array([[1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1],
       [1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1]])
>>> np.power(x1, x2)
array([[ 0,  1,  8, 27, 16,  5],
       [ 0,  1,  8, 27, 16,  5]])

The ** operator can be used as a shorthand for np.power on ndarrays.

>>> x2 = np.array([1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1])
>>> x1 = np.arange(6)
>>> x1 ** x2
array([ 0,  1,  8, 27, 16,  5])

Negative values raised to a non-integral value will result in nan (and a warning will be generated).

>>> x3 = np.array([-1.0, -4.0])
>>> with np.errstate(invalid='ignore'):
...     p = np.power(x3, 1.5)
...
>>> p
array([nan, nan])

To get complex results, give the argument dtype=complex.

>>> np.power(x3, 1.5, dtype=complex)
array([-1.83697020e-16-1.j, -1.46957616e-15-8.j])
sign

Returns an element-wise indication of the sign of a number.

The sign function returns -1 if x < 0, 0 if x==0, 1 if x > 0. nan is returned for nan inputs.

For complex inputs, the sign function returns sign(x.real) + 0j if x.real != 0 else sign(x.imag) + 0j.

complex(nan, 0) is returned for complex nan inputs.

Parameters:
  • x (array_like) – Input values.

  • out (ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional) – A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.

  • where (array_like, optional) – This condition is broadcast over the input. At locations where the condition is True, the out array will be set to the ufunc result. Elsewhere, the out array will retain its original value. Note that if an uninitialized out array is created via the default out=None, locations within it where the condition is False will remain uninitialized.

  • **kwargs – For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.

Returns:

y – The sign of x. This is a scalar if x is a scalar.

Return type:

ndarray

Notes

There is more than one definition of sign in common use for complex numbers. The definition used here is equivalent to \(x/\sqrt{x*x}\) which is different from a common alternative, \(x/|x|\).

Examples

>>> np.sign([-5., 4.5])
array([-1.,  1.])
>>> np.sign(0)
0
>>> np.sign(5-2j)
(1+0j)

  • out (ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional) – A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.

  • where (array_like, optional) – This condition is broadcast over the input. At locations where the condition is True, the out array will be set to the ufunc result. Elsewhere, the out array will retain its original value. Note that if an uninitialized out array is created via the default out=None, locations within it where the condition is False will remain uninitialized.

  • **kwargs – For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.

Returns:

y – The sine of each element of x. This is a scalar if x is a scalar.

Return type:

array_like

See also

arcsin, sinh, cos

Notes

The sine is one of the fundamental functions of trigonometry (the mathematical study of triangles). Consider a circle of radius 1 centered on the origin. A ray comes in from the \(+x\) axis, makes an angle at the origin (measured counter-clockwise from that axis), and departs from the origin. The \(y\) coordinate of the outgoing ray’s intersection with the unit circle is the sine of that angle. It ranges from -1 for \(x=3\pi / 2\) to +1 for \(\pi / 2.\) The function has zeroes where the angle is a multiple of \(\pi\). Sines of angles between \(\pi\) and \(2\pi\) are negative. The numerous properties of the sine and related functions are included in any standard trigonometry text.

Examples

Print sine of one angle:

>>> np.sin(np.pi/2.)
1.0

Print sines of an array of angles given in degrees:

>>> np.sin(np.array((0., 30., 45., 60., 90.)) * np.pi / 180. )
array([ 0.        ,  0.5       ,  0.70710678,  0.8660254 ,  1.        ])

Plot the sine function:

>>> import matplotlib.pylab as plt
>>> x = np.linspace(-np.pi, np.pi, 201)
>>> plt.plot(x, np.sin(x))
>>> plt.xlabel('Angle [rad]')
>>> plt.ylabel('sin(x)')
>>> plt.axis('tight')
>>> plt.show()
sinh

Hyperbolic sine, element-wise.

Equivalent to 1/2 * (np.exp(x) - np.exp(-x)) or -1j * np.sin(1j*x).

Parameters:
  • x (array_like) – Input array.

  • out (ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional) – A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.

  • where (array_like, optional) – This condition is broadcast over the input. At locations where the condition is True, the out array will be set to the ufunc result. Elsewhere, the out array will retain its original value. Note that if an uninitialized out array is created via the default out=None, locations within it where the condition is False will remain uninitialized.

  • **kwargs – For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.

Returns:

y – The corresponding hyperbolic sine values. This is a scalar if x is a scalar.

Return type:
