evaluable¶
The function module defines the Evaluable
class and derived objects,
commonly referred to as nutils functions. They represent mappings from a
nutils.topology
onto Python space. The notabe class of Array
objects map onto the space of Numpy arrays of predefined dimension and shape.
Most functions used in nutils applicatons are of this latter type, including the
geometry and function bases for analysis.
Nutils functions are essentially postponed python functions, stored in a tree
structure of input/output dependencies. Many Array
objects have
directly recognizable numpy equivalents, such as Sin
or
Inverse
. By not evaluating directly but merely stacking operations,
complex operations can be defined prior to entering a quadrature loop, allowing
for a higher level style programming. It also allows for automatic
differentiation and code optimization.
It is important to realize that nutils functions do not map for a physical xy-domain but from a topology, where a point is characterized by the combination of an element and its local coordinate. This is a natural fit for typical finite element operations such as quadrature. Evaluation from physical coordinates is possible only via inverting of the geometry function, which is a fundamentally expensive and currently unsupported operation.
- nutils.evaluable.equalindex(n, m)¶
Compare two array indices.
Returns True if the two indices are certainly equal, False if they are certainly not equal, or None if equality cannot be determined at compile time.
- nutils.evaluable.equalshape(N, M)¶
Compare two array shapes.
Returns True if all indices are certainly equal, False if any indices are certainly not equal, or None if equality cannot be determined at compile time.
- nutils.evaluable.replace(func=None, depthfirst=False, recursive=False, lru=4)¶
decorator for deep object replacement
Generates a deep replacement method for general objects based on a callable that is applied (recursively) on individual constructor arguments.
- Parameters:
func – Callable which maps an object onto a new object, or None if no replacement is made. It must have one positional argument for the object, and may have any number of additional positional and/or keyword arguments.
depthfirst (
bool
) – If True, decompose each object as far a possible, then apply func to all arguments as the objects are reconstructed. Otherwise apply func directly on each new object that is encountered in the decomposition, proceding only if the return value is None.recursive (
bool
) – If True, repeat replacement for any object returned by func until it returns None. Otherwise perform a single, non-recursive sweep.lru (
int
) – Maximum size of the least-recently-used cache. A persistent weak-key dictionary is maintained for every unique set of function arguments. When the size of lru is reached, the least recently used cache is dropped.
- Returns:
The method that searches the object to perform the replacements.
- Return type:

- nutils.evaluable.align(arg, where, shape)¶
Align array to target shape.
The align operation can be considered the opposite of transpose: instead of specifying for each axis of the return value the original position in the argument, align specifies for each axis of the argument the new position in the return value. In addition, the return value may be of higher dimension, with new axes being inserted according to the
shape
argument.

Remove (joint) inserted axes.
Given one or more equally shaped array arguments, return the shortest common axis vector along with function arguments such that the original arrays can be recovered by

- nutils.evaluable.einsum(fmt, *args, **dims)¶
Multiply and/or contract arrays via format string.
The format string consists of a comma separated list of axis labels, followed by
->
and the axis labels of the return value. For example, the following swaps the axes of a matrix:>>> einsum('ij->ji', ones([2,3])) nutils.evaluable.Transpose<f:3,2>
Axis labels that do not occur in the return value are summed. For example, the following performs a dot product of three matrices:
>>> einsum('ij,jk,kl->il', ones([2,3]), ones([3,4]), ones([4,5])) nutils.evaluable.Sum<f:2,5>
In case the dimension of the input and output arrays may vary, a variable length axes group can be denoted by a capital. Its length is automatically established based on the dimension of the input arrays. The following example performs a tensor product of an array and a vector:
>>> einsum('A,i->Ai', ones([2,3,4]), ones([5])) nutils.evaluable.Multiply<f:2,3,4,5>
The format string may contain multiple variable length axes groups, but their lengths must be resolvable from left to right. In case this is not possible, lengths may be specified as keyword arguments.
>>> einsum('AjB,i->AijB', ones([2,3,4]), ones([5]), B=1) nutils.evaluable.Multiply<f:2,5,3,4>
- nutils.evaluable.eval_sparse(funcs, **arguments)¶
