(current NIFTy's "MultiDomain")
Domain:
This is an abstract concept. Can currently be represented by SpaceTuple or SpaceTupleDict
Special domains:
ScalarDomain: empty SpaceTuple
Operator:
- Operators take an Operand defined on an input domain, transform it in some way
and return a new Operand defined on a (possibly different) target domain.
- Operators can be concatenated, as long as the domains at the interface are
identical. The result is another Operator.
Operand:
- Operand objects represent fields and potentially their Jacobians and metrics.
- an Operand object can be asked for its "value" and (if configured accordingly)
its Jacobian. If the target domain of an Operand object is scalar, a metric
may also be available.
- Applying an Operator to an Operand object will always return another Operand object.
class Operator(object):
@property
def domain(self):
# return input domain
@property
def target(self):
# return output domain
def __call__(self, other):
# if isinstance(other, Operand) return an Operand object
# else return an Operator object
def __matmul__(self, other):
return self(other)
class LinearOperator(Operator):
# more or less analogous to the current LinearOperator
class Operand(object):
# this unifies current NIFTy's Field, MultiField, and Linearization classes
@property
def domain(self):
# if no Jacobian is present, return None, else the Jacobian's domain.
@property
def target(self):
# return the domain on which the value of the Operand is defined. This is
# also the Jacobian's target (if a Jacobian is defined)
@property
def val(self):
# return a low level data structure holding the actual values (currently numpy.ndarray
# or dictionary of numpy.ndarrays. Read-only.
def val_rw(self):
# return a writeable copy of `val`
def fld(self):
# return am Operand that only contains the value content of this object. Its Jacobian and
# potential higher derivatives will be `None`.
@property
def jac(self):
return a Jacobian LinearOperator if possible, else None
@property
def want_metric(self):
return True or False
@property
def metric(self):
if self.jacobian is None, raise an exception
if self.target is not ScalarDomain, raise an exception

if metric cannot be computed, raise an exception

- a classic "standard" field is represented by a new field with a single key
that is the empty string
- Many of our operators work on part of a DomainTuple (e.g. FFTOperator).
Typically this is specified by passing the domain and additionally a "spaces"
argument, which is None, int of tupe of ints.
Since in the future every domain is a "multi-domain", this is no longer
sufficient: the partial domain must now contain an additional string defining
the name of the required field component. This requires an update
(and renaming) of "parse_spaces", "infer_space" etc.
Maybe it's good to introduce a new "PartialDomain" class which contains
* a string containing the desired field component, and
* an integer tuple containing the desired subspaces of that component
- "MultiField" will be renamed to "Field"; "Field" will probably be renamed
to some internal helper class or completely implemented within the new "Field".
- "MultiDomain" will be renamed to ???; "DomainTuple" will probably become
"_DomainTuple", i.e. it should not be directly accessed by external users.
- "makeField" and "makeDomain" become static "make" members of "Field" and
"Domain"Martin ReineckeMartin Reinecke
