Modes (Basis functions)¶

Function Spaces¶

class modepy.FunctionSpace¶

An opaque object representing a finite-dimensional function space of functions \(\mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R\).

spatial_dim¶

\(n\) in the above definition, the number of spatial dimensions in which the functions in the space operate.

space_dim¶

The number of dimensions of the function space.

class modepy.PN(spatial_dim, order)¶

The function space of polynomials with total degree \(N\) = order.

\[P^N:=\operatorname{span}\left\{\prod_{i=1}^d x_i^{n_i}:\sum n_i\le N\right\}.\]
order¶
__init__(spatial_dim, order)¶

class modepy.QN(spatial_dim, order)¶

The function space of polynomials with maximum degree \(N\) = order:

\[Q^N:=\operatorname{span} \left \{\prod_{i=1}^d x_i^{n_i}:\max n_i\le N\right\}.\]
order¶
__init__(spatial_dim, order)¶

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

modepy.space_for_shape(shape, order)¶
modepy.space_for_shape(shape, order)
modepy.space_for_shape(shape, order)

Return an unspecified instance of FunctionSpace suitable for approximation on shape attaining interpolation error of \(O(h^{\text{order}+1})\).

Parameters
Return type

modepy.spaces.FunctionSpace

Redirections to Canonical Names¶

class modepy.spaces.FunctionSpace¶

See modepy.FunctionSpace.

class modepy.spaces.PN¶

See modepy.PN.

class modepy.spaces.QN¶

See modepy.QN.

This functionality provides sets of basis functions for the reference elements in modepy.shapes.

Basis Retrieval¶

exception modepy.BasisNotOrthonormal¶
class modepy.Basis¶
orthonormality_weight()¶
mode_ids¶

Return a tuple of of mode (basis function) identifiers, one for each basis function. Mode identifiers should generally be viewed as opaque. They are hashable. For some bases, they are tuples of length matching the number of dimensions and indicating the order along each reference axis.

functions¶

Return a tuple of (callable) basis functions of length matching mode_ids. Each function takes a vector of (r,s,t) reference coordinates as input.

gradients¶

Return a tuple of basis functions of length matching mode_ids. Each function takes a vector of (r,s,t) reference coordinates as input.

modepy.basis_for_space(space, shape)¶
modepy.basis_for_space(space, shape)
modepy.basis_for_space(space, shape)
Parameters
Return type

modepy.modes.Basis

modepy.orthonormal_basis_for_space(space, shape)¶
modepy.orthonormal_basis_for_space(space, shape)
modepy.orthonormal_basis_for_space(space, shape)
Parameters
Return type

modepy.modes.Basis

modepy.monomial_basis_for_space(space, shape)¶
modepy.monomial_basis_for_space(space, shape)
modepy.monomial_basis_for_space(space, shape)
Parameters
Return type

modepy.modes.Basis

Jacobi polynomials¶

modepy.jacobi(alpha, beta, n, x)¶

Evaluate Jacobi polynomials of type \((\alpha, \beta)\) with \(\alpha, \beta > -1\) and \(\alpha+\beta \ne -1\) at a vector of points x for order n. The points x must lie on the interval \([-1,1]\).

Returns

a vector of \(P^{(\alpha, \beta)}_n\) evaluated at all x.

The polynomials are normalized to be orthonormal with respect to the Jacobi weight \((1-x)^\alpha(1+x)^\beta\).

Observe that choosing \(\alpha=\beta=0\) will yield the Legendre polynomials.

modepy.grad_jacobi(alpha, beta, n, x)¶

Evaluate the derivative of jacobi(), with the same meanings and restrictions for all arguments.

Conversion to Symbolic¶

modepy.symbolicize_function(f, dim, ref_coord_var_name='r')¶

For a function f (basis or gradient) returned by one of the functions in this module, return a pymbolic expression representing the same function.

Parameters

dim – the number of dimensions of the reference element on which basis is defined.

New in version 2020.2.

Tensor product adapter¶

class modepy.TensorProductBasis(bases_1d, grad_bases_1d, orth_weight)¶

__init__(bases_1d, grad_bases_1d, orth_weight)¶
