Creating oovars
oovars are 'Object-Oriented Variables'; this terminology is specific to FuncDesigner. (Previously, when FuncDesigner was a part of the OpenOpt module, these were called 'OpenOpt variables'). oovars are created by invoking oovar() or oovars(). Let's note - each oovar and oofun has field "name", that is used in error messages and for some parts of FuncDesigner kernel. Names should be unique.
from FuncDesigner import * a = oovar() # create oovar a a = oovar(size=15000) # create oovar of size 15000 b = oovar('b') # create oovar b named "b" instead of something like "unnamed_34" (useful for debug and results output) a = oovar('a', size=15000) # create oovar named 'a' of size 15000 a, b, c, d = oovars(4) # create 4 oovars, each one can have different size a, b, c = oovars('a', 'b', 'speed of sound in material') # create 3 oovars named "a", "b", "speed of sound in material", each one can have different size a, b, c, d = oovars('a b c d') # create ooarray of 80 oovars, each one can have different size myOOVars = oovars(80)
(since v. 0.42) Calling ooarray with string parameter, e.g. a = oovars(5)('asdf'), will set names of elements of the ooarray (oovars or oofuns) to the nae with underlined indexes, e.g. 'asdf_0', ..., 'asdf_4'.
Also you can define general n-dimensional numpy arrays of oovars (requires good knowledge of numpy masked arrays), each one of different size. However, for the sake of calculations speed it is recommended to create lots of oovars with size 1, as well as a small number of oovars with huge sizes and involving lots of slicing/indexation operations (like x[i], x[i:j], see Slicing and indexing below).
oovar constructors can handle parameters lb and ub (lower and upper bounds, this is used in numerical optimization problems), e.g. a = oovar('a', lb=-1, ub=[1,2,3]) (this oovar should have size 3) or x = oovars(10, lb=-1, ub=1)
Usually oovar size is assigned from involved point (or start point for some optimization problems, systems of equations etc). If you want to raise a error when in a point involved size of oovar differs from the expected one, you could use parameter "size" in oovar constructor, e.g.
a = oovar(size=some_expected_size) # or with user-provided name a = oovar('a', size=4)
Unfortunately, lots of users misunderstood difference between definition FuncDesigner variables by oovar() and oovars(), that is extremely important.
- Using a = oovars(N) automatically means your code is NOT vectorized by variable a (except of computations with OpenOpt GLP solvers pswarm, de and interalg); a will be an ooarray (derivative type of numpy.ndarray) with N separate objects of type oovar. On the other hand, you could assign different sizes for each oovar from the ooarray.
- Using a = oovar(size=N) means problem is vectorized by variable a, that could bring essential speedup (if you don't deal with lots of indexations a[i] and slicing a[i:j]), especially for slow Python interpreter. Unfortunately, interalg cannot work with oovars of size different from 1 yet, thus you should use oovars() for the solver if you deal with some arrays there.
Creating oofuns
Functions applied on oovars produce oofuns, eg
from FuncDesigner import * a, b, c, d = oovars(4) f1, f2 = a + 2*b + c, sin(a)+cos(b)+arctan(c) f3 = f1 + 4*f2 + cos(f1*f2) # you can involve in-place operations: f3 += sin(f2)+cos(f3) f3 /= 1024 f3 **= 2
All those overloaded by FuncDesigner funcs like +, *, /, **, sin, cos etc are vectorized, so user can produce new expressions like b = 2*sin(a) + cos(a) + a**2 etc, and b will be a vector of same size to a. Also, one can use c = FuncDesigner.dot(D, a), where D is m x N matrix, and result will be a vector of size M (D, where D is dense numpy arra or a matrix from scipy.sparse). Using sum() (u=v.sum(), u=FuncDesigner.sum(v)) or indexation (u=v[4], u = v[4:100]) is also available, see further for details.
To obtain value of oofun we should define a point that is a Python dictionary with keys oovars and values = their values, e.g.
from numpy import * point1 = {a:1, b:[2,3,4], c:array([10,20,30])} r = f3(point1) print(r) # It should print [ 21.60063885 33.28742147 45.64660797]
Some notes:
- Python lists (like the one above with value [2,3,4]) are simpler to type but are not recommended - one can forget to cast them into arrays, involve [1,2] + [5,10] and obtain [1,2,5,10] instead of [6, 12]. In openopt, scipy, lots of other Python scientific packages lists are cast to numpy arrays, yet one cannot be sure there are no any bugs lurking. So, creating Python lists of oovars (eg a=oovars(N)) is not recommended as well unless you exactly know what are you doing.
- You can use summation of Python lists made of oovars/oofuns/numbers/arrays eg
datalist = [a, b, some_oofun_1, 2.0, N, 4, some_oofun_2] # (*) # or datalist = [a, [1,2,3], some_oofun_3] # (**) c = sum(datalist)
- provided all elements under sum() have same size (1 for (*) and 3 for (**)).
- You can use "for" cycle, eg However, currently using "for elem in an_Iterable: result += func(elem)" works slower than sum([func(elem) for elem in an_Iterable]). It is intended to be fixed in future FD versions.
M = 15; for i in xrange(M): f3 = 0.1*f3+0.2*f2+1
- We can use "while" cycle as well, provided arguments in "for"/"while" loops are independent on any oovar/oofun.
To name an oofun (for some error messages and/or debug purposes) you can use one of the 2 ways below:
K = 0.5*m*V**2; K.name = 'kinetic energy'; P = g*h*m; P.name = 'potential energy'; TotalEnergy = K + P TotalEnergy = (0.5*m*V**2)('kinetic energy') + (m*g*h)('potential energy')
Each oofun should return a single number or array with ndim <= 1; oovars also should be numbers or arrays with ndim <= 1.
Currently only basic numpy operators and functions have been overloaded, if you have something exotic like gamma-function or arctan2 you should create your own oofun (and provide analytical derivative for that one, if it is possible/has sense), see Creating special oofuns.
Automatic differentiation
We can get oofun derivative in a point via automatic differentiation (not to be confused with Numerical differentiation via finite-differences derivatives approximation and symbolic differentiation provided by Maxima, SymPy etc).
from FuncDesigner import * a, b, c = oovars('a', 'b', 'c') f1, f2 = sin(a) + cos(b) - log2(c) + sqrt(b), sum(c) + c * cosh(b) / arctan(a) + c[0] * c[1] + c[-1] / (a * c.size) f3 = f1*f2 + 2*a + sin(b) * (1+2*c.size + 3*f2.size) f = (2*a*b*c + f1*f2 + f3) point = {a:1, b:2, c:[3, 4, 5]} # however, you'd better use numpy arrays instead of Python lists print(f(point)) print(f.D(point)) print(f.D(point, a)) print(f.D(point, [b])) print(f.D(point, fixedVars = [a, c])) """ Expected output: [ 48.9337138 18.16255336 -11.32129756] {a: array([ 51.75779959, 70.89020412, 91.93551537]), b: array([-38.10565554, -54.41138045, -74.08378522]), c: array([[-29.52297003, 2.03660168, 0.67886723], [ -1.60462289, -31.15709726, -0.42789944], [ -4.82390384, -3.85912307, -30.54104071]])} [ 51.75779959, 70.89020412, 91.93551537] {b: array([-38.10565554, -54.41138045, -74.08378522])} {b: array([-38.10565554, -54.41138045, -74.08378522])} """
You may be interested in using parameter "exactShape" (default: False). Set it True to prevent flattering/squeezing operations (DerApproximator has the parameter as well).
Pay attention: since FD ver 0.21 function .D() has optional parameter useSparse, default 'auto'. To allow/deny possibility of involving SciPy sparse matrices in AD engine and result output you can set it to True / False (sometimes automatic selection here is a damned hard task). e.g.
r = f.D(point, fixedVars = [a, c], useSparse=False, exactShape=True)
Also you can involve useSparse parameter for OpenOpt problems coded in FuncDesigner (it also has some autoselect possibilities but they are premature as well).
Some oofuns to pay attention
Operator ifThenElse
You can use operator "ifThenElse" where ordinary Python language operator if-then-else can't deal with condition because it has type oofun (that hasn't been invoked on a point yet and thus preliminary unknown) instead of boolean, e.g.
from FuncDesigner import * a, b = oovars('a', 'b') point = {a:10, b:[2, -5, -4]} f1 = ifThenElse(a+sum(b)<1, 3*a, 15*(a+5/b[0])) f2 = 4*sin(a) + 5 * ifThenElse(a+sum(abs(b))>1, 3, 4*a) f3 = 15 + 25 * ifThenElse(2>1, -100, 3*sum(log2(abs(b)))) f4 = 15 + 25 * ifThenElse(1>2, -100, 3*sum(log2(abs(b)))) for f in [f1, f2, f3, f4]: print(f(point)) print(f.D(point)) #[ 187.5] #{a: array([ 15.]), b: array([-18.75, -0. , -0. ])} #[ 12.82391556] #{a: array([-3.35628612])} #[-2485] #{} #[ 414.14460712] #{b: array([ 54.10106403, -21.64042561, -27.05053202])}
If your condition has type boolean when Python loads it (for example when you have "if myOOFun(startPoint)"), then you can use ordinary python if-elif-...-then-else in spite of type of other data involved.
min and max
min and max can work in 2 ways:
- on a single (vectorized) oofun, e.g.
from FuncDesigner import * a = oovar() M, m = max(a), min(a) func = M*m + 1 + sum(sin(a)) point = {a: [100,2,3,1,-0.4,5,-1.6]} print('min: %0.2f max: %0.2f func: %0.2f' % (m(point),M(point),func(point))) # prints min: -1.60 max: 100.00 func: -159.96
- You can use min(list_of_oofuncs) and max(list_of_oofuncs), e.g.
from FuncDesigner import * a, b, c = oovars('a', 'b', 'c') f1, f2, f3 = a+b, b+c, a+c M = max((a, f1, b, f2)) m = min([c**i for i in xrange(2, 5)]) point = {a:0, b:1, c:2} print(M(point), m(point)) # (array(3.0), array(4.0)) print(M.D(point)) # {b: 1.0, c: 1.0} print(m.D(point)) # {c: 4.0}
You should pay attention that FuncDesinger min/max can override Python or numpy min/max; an appropriate error message is expected to be raised (omit using "from ... import *" in the case).
Slicing and indexing
You can use the following slicing and indexing for oofuns/oovars: a[ind], a[ind1:ind2]. ind1 and ind 2 should be integers, positive, negative or zero; unlike numpy.ndarray, you can't use a[ind:] or a[:ind] for now if a is oofun/oovar (you can use it with a created as a = oovars(), but it has its own pros and cons). Currently ind cannot be oovar/oofun, like a.size (if you haven't assigned a.size to a known fixed number). Maybe latter will be implemented in future releases.
from FuncDesigner import * N = 100 a = oovar() b = a[1:N] c = a[0:N-1] f1 = abs(b-c) d = f1[50] + b[0] + a[10]*c[N-5] f2 = sum(d) point = {a: cos(range(N))} print('f2: ' + str(f2(point))) # prints 0.150446291231
Angle
Returns angle between 2 vectors. Currently the oofun is implemented as arccos(sum(inp1*inp2)/sqrt(sum(inp1**2)*sum(inp2**2))). Thus you should care by yourself about zero vector, e.g. via using ifThenElse or Attached constraints. Possibility of getting out of range [-1, 1] due to small numerical errors is handled via attached constraint with a negative tolerance 1e-7, see below for details (you can remove it and/or replace by another (possibly attached) constraint). Pay attention, that no check for (length of inp1) == (length of inp2) is performed, so you should care of it (e.g. to prevent inp1 and inp2 being scalar and vector) by yourself (if required). It is intended to be improved in future versions.
from FuncDesigner import * x,y = oovars(2) a=angle(x,y) print(a({x:[0,1],y:[1,0]})) # should be pi/2 1.57079632679
hstack
You can use FuncDesigner.hstack (similar to numpy.hstack) on 1-dimensional oovars, oofuns, ooarrays, e.g.
from FuncDesigner import * a, b = oovars('a b') f = a*2 + sin(b) f2 = hstack((f, a, b)) point = {a:[10,20,-3], b:4} print(f(point),f2(point)) # [ 19.2431975 39.2431975 -6.7568025] [ 19.2431975 39.2431975 -6.7568025 10. 20. -3. 4.]
Passing oovars through ordinary Python functions
oovars can pass through ordinary Python functions
provided FuncDesigner has appropriate overloads for all functions/operators
used inside those ones
from FuncDesigner import * a, b, c = oovars('a', 'b', 'c') def func1(x, y): return x + 4*y func2 = lambda x, y, z: sin(x) + 4*y + 3*cos(z) + func1(x, z) def func3(x, y, z): return x + 2*y + 5*sin(z) + func2(x, z, y) + func1(z, y) print(func3(2, 3, 4)) # Note that func3, func2, func1 could be imported from another file instead of been defined here myFunc = func3(a, b, c) # now myFunc is instance of FuncDesigner class oofun point = {a:2, b:3, c:4} print(myFunc(point)) print('difference: %f'% (func3(2, 3, 4) - myFunc(point))) print('Derivative obtained via Automatic differentiation:') print(myFunc.D(point)) # Expected output: # 48.1553074605 # [ 48.15530746] # difference: 0.000000 # Derivative obtained via Automatic differentiation: # {a: array([ 1.58385316]), b: array([ 9.57663998]), c: array([ 1.7317819])}
Solving systems of linear equations
Currently
- for dense SLE numpy.linalg.solve (LAPACK routine dgesv) is used
- for sparse SLE scipy.sparse.linalg.spsolve is used. If you have SciPy installed without UMFPACK (license: GPL), then SuperLU will be used (license: BSD, is included into latest SciPy versions code). However, most of times UMFPACK yields speed of many times greater. Installation of SciPy from Linux soft channels has UMFPACK as optional dependence (thus is installed as well), as for presence in scientific Python distributions - check by yourself (probably via google search), maybe information placed here will be obsolete the time you're read it
- solving SLE by FuncDesigner requires OpenOpt installed, maybe in future the dependence will be ceased
- using FuncDesigner ooSystem can automatically determine is your system of equations linear or nonlinear, subjected to given set of free/fixed variables. For more details see the doc entry.
- you can use your own solver (see example with rendering below).
Simple example of solving a SLE by FuncDesigner
from FuncDesigner import * # create some variables a, b, c = oovars('a', 'b', 'c') # or just a, b, c = oovars(3) # Python list of 3 linear equations with 3 variables f = [2*a+3*b-2*c+5, 2*a+13*b+15, a+4*b+2*c-45] # alternatively, you could pass equations (the example below is valid for FD 0.18+): # f = [2*a+3*b-2*c == -5, 2*a+15 == -13*b, a+45==4*b+2*c] # assign SLE linSys = sle(f) r = linSys.solve() A, B, C = r(a, b, c) maxRes = r.ff # max residual # Expected result: # {b: array([-5.]), a: array([ 25.]), c: array([ 20.])}

Getting ALL solutions
OpenOpt has an excellent solver interalg that is capable of obtaining ALL solutions of nonlinear equation(s).

Solving nonlinear equation
To solve an equation you can mere use the same syntax for nonlinear equations system, introduced above. Let's illustrate it with an example of searching all roots of the equation (1 + 10^(-10) + sin(150*x)) * cos(10*x) ** 2 = 0 by interalg solver in the line segment [0, 1.5]. As you see, it has lots of local extrema, that are very close to zero (in those points where sin(150*x) is close to -1). Using ordinary function evaluation based solvers, like those ones from scipy.optimize, is very ineffective for searching even a single root of the equation (especially would you replace 150 by much higher value).
from FuncDesigner import * from openopt import * x = oovar(tol=1e-3) # solutions x1 and x2 with |x1-x2| < tol will be considered as equivalent y = (1 + 1e-10 + sin(150*x)) * cos(10*x) ** 2 equation = [y == 0] # we will search equation roots in the line segment [0,15] constraints = (x>0, x<1.5) startPoint = {x:0} # doesn't matter essentially for the solver "interalg" p = SNLE(equation, startPoint, constraints = constraints, ftol = 1e-10) # required tolerance for solutions solver = oosolver('interalg', maxSolutions = 10000) r = p.solve(solver) ''' ------------------------- OpenOpt 0.34 ------------------------- solver: interalg_0.21 problem: unnamed type: NLSP iter objFunVal nSolutions 0 1.000e+00 0 10 7.367e-12 4 OpenOpt info: Solution with required tolerance 1.0e-10 is guarantied (obtained precision: 5.1e-11) 12 5.118e-11 5 istop: 1001 (solutions are obtained) Solver: Time Elapsed = 0.07 CPU Time Elapsed = 0.05 5 solutions have been obtained ''' # Let's plot a related picture from pylab import plot, scatter, show, ylim, grid from numpy import arange xx = arange(0, 1.5, 0.001) plot(xx, y({x:xx})) X = [x(s) for s in r.solutions] scatter(X, [0]*len(X), marker = (5, 1, 0), s=75) ylim(-0.1, 2.1) grid();show()

Creating special oofuns
If you have functions beyond current FuncDesigner overloads capabilities and/or want to provide oofun wrappers for funcs written in C, Fortran, other languages, you can create your own oofun(s).
Automatic differentiation will be available provided you have supplied it derivative by yourself or have DerApproximator installed (it will involve finite-differences stencil approximation).
Generally creating special oofuns is performed via
from FuncDesigner import oofun my_oofun = oofun(function, input=input, (optional)d=d, args=args)
where function is Python function (or connected to Python by f2py, Cython, ctypes etc),
input is oovar(s)/oofun(s) (list or single element) - input args for the function,
d is derivative (if known),
args are additional arguments for function (if required).
Example:
from FuncDesigner import * from scipy import fft from numpy import arange a, b, c = oovars('a', 'b', 'c') ff = lambda x, y, z: abs(fft((x+2*y+4*z)*arange(16))) # R^3 -> R^16 FFT = oofun(ff, input=[a, b, c]) # or mere oofun(ff, [a, b, c]) f = a**2+b**2+c**2 + FFT point = {a:1, b:2, c:3} print(f(point)) print(f.D(point)) # Another way, via creating oofun constructor: from FuncDesigner import * from scipy import fft from numpy import arange, hstack a, b, c = oovars('a', 'b', 'c') myFFT = lambda INPUT: oofun(lambda *args:abs(fft(hstack(args))), input=INPUT) # Fourier transform returns complex numbers f = a**2+b**2+c**2 + myFFT([a+2*b, a+3*c, 2*b+4*c]) point = {a:1, b:2, c:3} print(f(point)) print(f.D(point))
Translator
The feature is available since FD v. 0.21.
You can use FuncDesigner code made from lots oovars with routines that has single input array x (numpy array of size n) (possibly along with a small fixed number of other input arrays), function fun: R^n -> R^m (possibly along with several other funcs like this), optionally with function(s) Dfun: R^n -> R^(m x n) that provide(s) user-supplied derivatives (we will involve FuncDesigner automatic differentiation instead).
Examples: routines from scipy.optimize, especially gradient-based; scipy odr; scipy.interate odeint; maybe some user-defined routines; etc.
Of course, some routines mentioned above are already connected to FuncDesigner but an awful lot of other is not yet and all those thousands of them (especially user-defined) will never be.
from FuncDesigner import * # Creating translator: # Way 1. You can define translator from a set (list, tuple) of oovars a, b, c = oovar(size=3), oovar(size=10), oovar(size=100) d = oovar() # for unsized oovars translator will consider it has size 1 T = ootranslator([a, b, c, d]) # Way 2. You can define translator from a point (Python dict of oovars and their values in the point) a, b, c, d = oovars(4) # create 3 oovars point = {a:[0, 1, 2], b:[1]*10, c:[0]*100, d:1} # size a is 3, size b is 10, size c is 100, size d is 1 # alternatively: # from numpy import * # point = {a:arange(3), b:ones(10), c:zeros(100), d:array(1)} T = ootranslator(point) # Using translator: # First of all let's concider using the routines point2vector and vector2point x = T.point2vector(point) # x is numpy array of length ooT.n = 114 # we can perform some operations on x, e.g. pass to a routine x += 1 + sin(x) # and decode it backward: newPoint = T.vector2point(x) # Now let's involve automatic differentiation # create a func func1 = (sum(a)+2*sum(b)+sum(sin(c)*cosh(d)))**2 # R^ 114 -> R pointDerivative1 = func1.D(point) # Python dict {a: df/da, b:df/db, c:df/dc, d:df/dd} func1_d = T.pointDerivative2array(pointDerivative1) # numpy array of size 114 func2 = a+2*sum(b)+sum(sin(c)*cosh(d)) # R^ 114 -> R^3, because size(a) is 3 and other summation elements are of size 1 pointDerivative2 = func2.D(point) # Python dict {a: df/da, b:df/db, c:df/dc, d:df/dd} func2_d = T.pointDerivative2array(pointDerivative2) # numpy 2d array of shape (3, 114) # Now you could use translator in a routine that consumes function, it derivative and start point as numpy array # e.g. for scipy optimize fmin_bfgs you could write from scipy.optimize import fmin_bfgs objective = lambda x: func1(T.vector2point(x)) x0 = T.point2vector(point) derivative = lambda x: T.pointDerivative2array(func1.D(T.vector2point(x))).flatten() # without flatten it may be 2d array, e.g. 1 x 114 x_opt = fmin_bfgs(objective, x0, derivative) optPoint = T.vector2point(x_opt) # Python dict {a:a_opt, b:b_opt, c:c_opt, d:d_opt} a_opt, b_opt, c_opt, d_opt = optPoint[a], optPoint[b], optPoint[c], optPoint[d] # numpy arrays of size 3, 10, 100, 1
Involving sparsity in ootranslator is possible but is undocumented yet.
Interpolation
This example uses scipy.interpolate.InterpolatedUnivariateSpline. This function has been wrapped by a routine from FuncDesigner and yielded the oofun FuncDesigner.interpolate.scipy_InterpolatedUnivariateSpline with exactly same args/kwargs. See scipy.interpolate.InterpolatedUnivariateSpline doc for whole list of possible parameters.
you better check your spline each time via graphical visualizaion, e.g. by matplotlib, to prevent possible errors.
You can easily get derivatives via automatic differentiation and involve the function into numerical optimization problems.
FuturePlans: 2-D and N-dimensional splines
from FuncDesigner import * a, b, c = oovars('a', 'b', 'c') point1 = {a:1, b: 0, c:[1, 2, 3]} mySpline = interpolator([1, 2, 3, 4], [1.001, 4, 9, 16.01])
(see scipy InterpolatedUnivariateSpline constructor doc for other available arguments, pay attention for k (order))
plot plots your spline and points it is based on (requires matplotlib installed), and residual calculates in spline definition points maximal difference between initial and interpolated values.
# Let's check our spline print('max residual in spline definition points: %e' % mySpline.residual()) mySpline.plot() f = mySpline(a) print(f(point1)) print(f.D(point1)) f2 = a + sin(b) + c[0] + arctan(1.5*f) F = mySpline(a + f2 + 2*b + (c**2).sum()) print(F(point1)) print(F.D(point1)) """ Expected output: max residual in spline definition points: 2.220446e-16 (it is not always that small) [ 1.001] {a: 2.0015} [ 329.61795391] {a: 108.51234473582626, b: 111.39024933951316, c: array([ 111.39024934, 148.52033245, 222.78049868])} """
Integration
OpenOpt has interalg solver that is capable of numerical integration with guarantied user-requested precision. For mature single- and multi-dimensional examples see IP.
Currently there is only one routine from SciPy connected: scipy.intergate.quad (uses Fortan library QUADPACK, R^n->R^1 only), maybe in future higher order solvers will be connected, e.g. scipy.intergate dblquad, tplquad, quadrature, fixed_quad, trapz etc
Usage:
myOOFun = integrator(integration_oofun, domain)
where domain is tuple (integration_oovar, lower_bound, upper_bound)
Examples:
from FuncDesigner import * a, b, c = oovars('a', 'b', 'c') f1, f2 = sin(a)+cosh(b), 2*b+3*c.sum() f3 = 2*a*b*prod(c) + f1*cos(f2) point1 = {a:1, b:2, c:[3, 4, 5]} point2 = {a: -10.4, b: 2.5, c:[3.2, 4.8]} domain = (b, -1, 1) f4 = integrator(f1+2*f2+3*f3, domain) print(f4(point1), f4(point2)) # Expected output: 147.383792876, 102.143425528 # integral bounds can be oofuns as well: f5 = integrator(f1+2*f2+3*f3, (a, 10.4, f2+5*sin(f1))) print(f5(point1), f5(point2)) # Expected output: 404683.969794 107576.397664 from numpy import inf # you can use infinite bounds as well f6 = integrator(1/(1+a**2+b**2+sum(c**2)), (a, 10+cos(f2+2*f3), inf)) print(f6(point1), f6(point2)) # Expected output: 0.0847234400308 0.0905041349188 f7 = integrator(f1+2*f2+3*sqrt(abs(f3)), (a, cos(f2+2*f3), f2+5*sin(f1)) ) print(f7(point1), f7(point2)) # Expected output: 9336.70442146 5259.53130904
Uncertainty analysis
Uncertainty is calculated by the formula
Usage:
result = oofun.uncertainty(point, deviations, actionOnAbsentDeviations)
point and deviations should be Python dicts of pairs (oovar, value_for_oovar)
actionOnAbsentDeviations =
- 'error' (raise FuncDesigner exception) |
- 'skip' (treat as fixed number with zero deviation) |
- (default) 'warning' (print warning, treat as fixed number)
Large-scale (maybe sparse) examples haven't been tested, we could implement and test it properly on demand (some speedup can be implemented).
from FuncDesigner import * from numpy import mat a, b = oovars('a', 'b') f1 = a + 2 * b f2 = sin(a**2) point1 = {a:1, b:1} point2 = {a:0.5, b:0.15} deviations1 = {a:0.1, b:0.1} deviations2 = {a:0.01, b:0.015} for f in [f1, f2]: for point in (point1, point2): for deviations in [deviations1, deviations2]: print('%f+/-%f ' % (f(point), f.uncertainty(point, deviations))), # comma will work in other way in Python3 print('\n') # Vectorized example point = {a:[1, 2, 3], b:0.1} deviations1 = {a:0.01, b:0.015} deviations2 = {a:[0.01, 0.2, 0.3], b:0.015} M = mat('2 3 4; 3 4 5') f = dot(M, a) + b for deviations in [deviations1, deviations2]: print('%s +/- %s ' % (f(point), f.uncertainty(point, deviations))), # comma will work in other way in Python3
Output:
3.000000+/-0.223607 3.000000+/-0.031623 0.800000+/-0.223607 0.800000+/-0.031623 0.841471+/-0.108060 0.841471+/-0.010806 0.247404+/-0.096891 0.247404+/-0.009689 [ 20.1 26.1] +/- [ 0.0559017 0.07228416] [ 20.1 26.1] +/- [ 1.82006181 2.33004828]
Interval analysis
See the wikipedia.org entry for details.
Table of overloaded functions
Some elements mentioned in the documentation chapter are coming (available in svn repository but not OO v. 0.45)
This is a table of functions that FuncDesigner interval analysis engine is capable of handling, mostly for interalg solver (that uses them with vectorized computations). Constant approximation evaluates borders Lb, Ub: Lb <= f(x) for x from domain <= Ub; linear approximation (not available in FuncDesigner user API yet, used in FD kernel only for now) yields linear functions lin_l(x), lin_u(x): lin_l(x) <= f(x) for x from domain <= lin_u(x); also, some elements of quadratic approximation are intended to be implemented in future.
If function of constant-only approximation is invoked on result of linear approximation, it is preliminary rendered from linear bounds into constant bounds, e.g. sin(b**2 + a + 2*b + 3*(a-b)) will render b**2 + a + 2*b + 3*(a-b) into b**2 + 4*a - b and then invoke sin on lower and upper bounds of the obtained function (if linear approximation for sin is unimplemented yet). If a combination of constant and linear approximation types is involved, e.g. sin(a) + a + 2*b + b**4, then sin(a) will be rendered into pair (lb, ub) and added as constant to the linear approximation result of a + 2*b + b**4.
Linear approximation is helpful for:
- integration problems (IP) (difference in speed may be many orders, especially for multidimensional integrals)
- optimization problems with bad quality of interval analysis because of repeated variables, e.g. a + 1/a + b + b**2 (sometimes difference in speed also may be many orders)
- FuturePlans include involving linear approximation in ODE
Also Future plans include: some types of N-dimensional splines, erf, cotan, maybe others (some monotone, unimodal functions or functions with all known local extrema could be connected on demand)

Boolean variables and functions
There are 2 types of boolean data in FuncDesigner: oovars and oofuns. Boolean oovars are created via oovar(..., domain = bool). If they are used in arithmetic expressions (e.g. a+2*b), their values are involved as 0 or 1; for logical expressions, e.g. ~a | (b|c) & d & (XOR(sin(f**2)>0.1,~f)), their values are used as True and False.
Boolean oofuns are created while using operations '>', '>=', ==, '<', '<='.
Let's note: since FuncDesigner is intended primarily for continuous functions, currently operations '>' and '>=' are same, as well as '<' and '<=' - all they yield "true" for equality case.
Resulting oofun has output of type boolean (True/False); for vectorized comparisons it is False if any of vector coordinates equals to numpy.nan ("not a number", e.g. result of extracting logarithm or square root from negative number, result of user-defined function) or the constraint is violated:
from FuncDesigner import * a, b = oovars(2) point = {a:[2,4],b:[5,10]} c = a+2*b; print(c(point)) # prints [12. 24.] d = c > 15; print(d(point)) # prints '''False''' because c has coordinate 12 that is less than 15 z = c > -10; print(z(point)) # prints '''True''' because all c coordinates are greater than -10 in the point involved z2 = log(b-7); print(z2(point)) # prints '''False''' because log([-2,3]) is [NaN, 1.09861229]
The following logical operations are available in FuncDesigner (attention
- currently only interalg can handle them):
| Operation | Usage | Examples | Info |
|---|---|---|---|
| not | NOT, ~ | f = NOT(b>0.5) f = ~b f = ~(a>0.1) | |
| and | AND, & | f = AND(a,b) f = AND(a,b,c,d) f = AND([a,b,c,d]) f = a & (sin(b)>0.1) & (sin(c)>-0.1) f = AND([x[i] < 2 * y[i] + sin(i) for i in range(100)]) | |
| or | OR, | | (sin(b)>0.1) | (sin(c)>-0.1) f = OR([x[i] < 2 * y[i] + sin(i) for i in range(100)]) | currently implemented as ~AND([~elem for elem in input]) |
| xor | XOR | f = XOR(a,b) f = XOR(a,b,c,...,d) f = XOR([a,b,...,c]) f = XOR(a, sin(b) < 0.5 + c, cos(c) > 0.4) | excluding OR, True if and only if exactly 1 argument is True. Standard abbreviation "^" could be overloaded, but I (Dmitrey) decided to omit it, to prevent confusing with power (** in Python) (since both logical and arithmetic expressions can be encountered in same line of code). |

Unfortunately, in current state of Python language operator "=>" cannot be overloaded. Currently implemented via NOT and AND. Functions ifThen() and IMPLICATION() are synonyms in FuncDesigner, but only IMPLICATION can be used as boolean oovar/oofun method, e.g condition.IMPLICATION(consequences) |
| equivalence | == | a == ~b a == sin(b) | currently implemented as (arg1 & arg2) | (~arg1 & ~arg2) |
You should take into account Python operators precedence and use brackets when you are not sure.
Discrete and categorical variables
Discrete oovars are defined via oovar(..., domain = [val_1, ..., val_n]). These values have to be floats or integers.
Categorical variables are defined via oovar(..., domain = [str_1,...,str_n]), where str_k are strings. For this type only equality check is valid, e.g. (a == 'asdf' | b == 'qwerty').
Currently in OpenOpt only interalg can handle categorical variables (example).
Numerical optimization: using OpenOpt
Currently you can use only the classes mentioned below, FuturePlans: provide connections and examples for some other OO classes (mb (MI)(QC)QP, DFP, NLLSP).
Let me remember you - required constraints tolerance can be change during prob assignment, e.g. p = NLP(..., contol = 1e-7). See also the doc entry Personal tolerances for constraints.
Using FuncDesigner you don't have to provide 1st derivatives - they are calculated via Automatic differentiation.
If possible, constraints are rendered into box-bound and linear ones.
You can involve useSparse={True/False} parameter (it has some autoselect possibilities but they are premature).
Suppose you have optimization variables a, b, c = oovars('a', 'b', 'c'). To extract optimal point coordinates anything below works:
a_opt, b_opt, c_opt = r(a, b, c) a_opt, b_opt, c_opt = r(a), r(b), r(c) r('a'), r('b'), r('c') r('a', 'b', 'c') a(r), b(r), c(r)

SP
FuncDesigner has commercial addon for solving stochastic optimization problems, see StochasticProgramming for more details.
Personal tolerances for constraints
Each boolean oofun created by comparison (less, greater, equal) of smooth oofuns has field tol (tolerance, threshold for triggering False), 0 by default (if the oofun is encountered in constraints passed to openopt, it will use value p.contol for these ones). If you change it to other value, FuncDesigner and OpenOpt will use that one. You can assign it directly (c.tol = myValue), but other ways are more convenient and recommended:
from FuncDesigner import * a = oovar() point = {a: 1.5001} # you can use any of the ways below c = a<1.5; c.tol = 1e-3 # direct way, inconvenient - you have to type 'c' 2 times, and sometimes name is much longer. c = (a<1.5)(tol=0.001) # to change tolerance you can call it with keyword arg '''tol''' # in the __call__ routine you can assign constraint name as well: c = (a<1.5)('asdf', tol=0.001) # (*) c = (a<1.5)('asdf')(tol=0.001) # (**) c = (a<1.5)(name='my constraint', tol=0.001) c = (a<1.5)(tol=0.001, name='asdf') c = (a<1.5)(name='asdf')(tol=1e-3) # Most recommended ways are (*) and (**) d = (a<1.5)(tol=0.000001) print('c: ' + str(c1(point)) + ' d: ' + str(d(point))) # c: True d: False print(a+2==3.50005)(tol=1e-10)(point) # False
Providing adequate constraints tolerances is highly important for most of numerical optimization solvers. Lots of them will have difficulties with constraints of huge typical values (like 103, 104 etc) while required tolerances for them are small (like 10-6, that is default for OpenOpt); or you have some of your constraints to be satisfied very exactly (like 10-20) while others are huge as above. Thus, when you assign your own tolerances, OpenOpt will scale it automatically to the working tolerance p.contol (via multiplying it with a known constant number).
If you have strict constraint, that cannot be violated for any tol (e.g. x>=0 for to keep x0.25 inside definition domain) but you still want to provide a non-default scaling factor for the constraint, you can use negative tol, e.g.
from FuncDesigner import * from openopt import NLP a = oovar() objective = log(a-10000000000) + 100*exp(1/(a-10000000000)) # numbers around 10^10 dollars are involved c = sqrt(a) > 1e5 + 0.1 c2 = (a>10000000000)(tol = -1000) # tolerance is 1000 dollars, strict inequation to keep objective defined startPoint = {a:10000000001} p = NLP(objective, startPoint, constraints = [c, c2], maxIter = 1e4, ftol = 1e-4) r = p.minimize('ipopt') print(r.ff) # My computer with IPOPT 3.8.0 prints 109.90849 for tol = -1000 # that is better than 109.9183 for tol = 1e-6 (default)
Known issues: currently assigning non-zero tol forces box-bound constraints (lb <= x <= ub) to be rendered as general linear (Ax<=b); to be fixed in future.
Attached constraints
(unestablished)
You can use attach constraints to oovar, oofun or another constraint; then every time this element is involved in numerical optimization by openopt, the constraints will be connected and involved as well. It is automatically done for some FD functions (log, sqrt, pow, arcsin, arccos) (like (x>0)(tol = -1e-7), (x>1e-300)(tol = -1e-7) etc in FD versions prior to 0.33; in v >= 0.33 you should pass to openopt prob parameter p.useAttachedConstraints = True; in future useAttachedConstraints probably will have other values (along with True/False) like "userOnly" or "kernelOnly". Negative tolerance means strict requirement, see related doc entry for details
Using attached constraints is illustrated by the openopt NLP example below, but it can be used with other classes as well - LP, MILP, SNLE, GLP etc.
from FuncDesigner import * from openopt import NLP a, b, c = oovars('a', 'b', 'c') b.attach(b < -1.01) a.attach(a<9, a[0]>8.9) # having sqrt(c) we don't need to mention c>0 - it will be connected automatically c.attach((c-2)**2 < 1, c*sqrt(c) <2) sumAB=(a+b > [ 7.97999836, 7.8552538 ])('sum_a_b', tol=1.00000e-12) # having log(a) we don't need to mention a>0 - it will be connected automatically (a>10^-300) sumAB.attach(((b + c * log10(a).sum() - 1) ** 2==0)(tol=1e-7)) f = (sum(a*[1, 2])**2+b**2+c**2).attach((2*c+a-10)**2 < 1.5 + 0.1*b) # we can use operation "attach" several times f.attach((a-10)**2<1.5, (a-10.5)**2<2.5) startPoint = {a:[100, 12], b:2, c:-40} # however, you'd better use numpy arrays instead of Python lists p = NLP(f, startPoint, constraints = sumAB) r = p.minimize('ralg') print(r.xf) a_opt, b_opt, c_opt = r(a, b, c) """ Expected output: ... objFunValue: 721.86104 (feasible, max(residuals/requiredTolerances) = 0.257482) {a: array([ 8.98999844, 8.91886164]), b: array([-1.00999974]), c: array([ 1.0555967])} """
To remove attached constraints you can use removeAttachedConstraints:
f.removeAttachedConstraints()
- possibility to change tol / scale factor (currently mostly tol ~= -1e-7 is used for log/log2/log10/sqrt/arcsin/arccos)
- provide attached constraints for those splines where user want to have extrapolation disabled
- provide special operator for attaching, e.g. &=
- currently the element with some attached constraints is evaluating despite of their values; maybe attached constraints should be separated into 2 groups, e.g. "required" and "related". If any "required" constraints in a point isn't satisfied, then for the point we don't calculate the element it is attached to, and return numpy.nan instead.
Solving ODE
- FuncDesigner Automatic differentiation makes the soft very suitable for solving ODE systems
; also, you may be interested in eigenvalue analysis for derivatives of several functions, obtained via Automatic differentiation, see EIG entry for details.
- Another pro is having several variables instead of y and t only, as it is done in most ODE soft tools
- Currently the following solvers are available:
- scipy.integrate.odeint (lsoda from the FORTRAN library odepack)
- interalg - solver with guaranteed user-defined accuracy, currently can handle only equations dy/dt = f(t)
- any other could be connected

Example with specifiable accuracy
Text and graphic output format is unestablished yet.
OpenOpt has solver interalg based on interval analysis, that is capable of solving ODE dy/dt = f(t) with specifiable accuracy, where scipy.integrate.odeint fails to solve a problem and lies with the output message "Integration successful" (see the next chapter "interalg vs scipy.integrate.odeint comparison"). Of course, it is expected behavior of any solver based on function evaluations only, w/o any other information about the involved function supplied - it can omit some essential regions.

oosystem
oosystem is a set of some oofuns with set of some constraints; each one can have some attached constraints (some of them as well may have some attached constraints recursively). Maybe in future will be implemented possibility of creating oosystems recursively, merging, uniting etc.
To create an oosystem just pass some oofuns into constructor:
S = oosystem(f, f2, f3) # or any iterable (list, tuple, set) of them: dataToObserve = [f, f2, f3] S = oosystem(dataToObserve)
Later you could attach some more oofuns to the oosystem via
S += elem<br> # or any iterable: S += [elem1,elem2,...]
To attach constraints use &=, e.g.
S &= a<10 S &= (a<15)('constraint A1') cons_B, cons_C = b>1, (c < 39.9999995)('cons_C', tol=1e-4) S &= (cons_B, cons_C)
Let's investigate system state in a point:
ss = S(point)
To see state of the system in a point use print(ss), it would show something like
func3 = nan func2 = 16993.0 func1 = 16980.0
You can extract values of a oofun from the system in a given point via using ss() on the oofun(s):
print(ss(f)) print(ss(f,f2))
To check are all constraints satisfied and no NaN, +/- inf in involved data use the field isFeasible:
print(ss.isFeasible) # True or False
To see names of active constraints you can use (unestablished) print(ss.activeConstraints)
Numerical optimization of oosystems
- oosystems can automatically determine (subjected to the given set of free/fixed variables) is your problem
- FuturePlans: add other classes (MILP, MINLP, QP, QCQP, MIQCQP, MIQP, SDP, maybe more)
Let's consider appropriate examples.

Some issues to be aware
- You can use f.size for oovars/oofuns but not len(f)
- some_oovar[some_ind] < some_val is rendered into general linear constraint, not box-bound; the one is intended to be solved in future FuncDesigner/OpenOpt releases, alone with some other features/enhancements to be done.
- FuncDesigner creates lots of auxilary functions and class objects. Since CPython interpreter is slow in comparison with C/C++/Fortran etc, if you have problems with calculations speed you could be interested in Unladen Swallow project, they say it already works with NumPy/SciPy and promise even more speed in release 2009Q3.
Common FuncDesigner programmer mistakes
From time to time we get FuncDesigner code for review or bug search. Typical user mistakes:
- Forget about attached constraints in sqrt, log, pow, arcsin, arccos etc
- Using slow Python cycles where vectorization is available - can speed down in tens, hundreds or even more times. Using oovar is more recommended than oovars, latter is recommended only for IPOPT if your problem is out of RAM because of some issues in dependency matrix generation
- FD programmers don't check difference between passing argument (to optimization and other AD or AD-based funcs) useSparse = True / False / 'auto' (latter is default, but sometimes it work prematurely)
- Connecting C/Fortran/general Python code to FD via custom oofuns, many people forget to adjust parameter stencil (=1/2/3)
- Poor code overall
