Evaluating this function at the interface gives (for this particular topology) the value at the side of the first element:

>>> topo.interfaces.sample('bezier', 1).eval(f)

Using opposite() we obtain the value at the side of second element:

nutils.function.Sampled(__points, expect)¶

Basis-like identity operator.

Basis-like function that for every point in a predefined set evaluates to the unit vector corresponding to its index.

nutils.function.piecewise(level, intervals, *funcs)¶

nutils.function.partition(f, *levels)¶

Create a partition of unity for a scalar function f.

When n levels are specified, n+1 indicator functions are formed that evaluate to one if and only if the following condition holds:

indicator 0: f < levels[0]
indicator 1: levels[0] < f < levels[1]
...
indicator n-1: levels[n-2] < f < levels[n-1]
indicator n: f > levels[n-1]

At the interval boundaries the indicators evaluate to one half, in the remainder of the domain they evaluate to zero such that the whole forms a partition of unity. The partitions can be used to create a piecewise continuous function by means of multiplication and addition.

The following example creates a topology consiting of three elements, and a function f that is zero in the first element, parabolic in the second, and zero again in the third element.

>>> from nutils import mesh
>>> domain, x = mesh.rectilinear([3])
>>> left, center, right = partition(x[0], 1, 2)
>>> f = (1 - (2*x[0]-3)**2) * center

Parameters

f (Array) – Scalar-valued function
levels (scalar constants or Arrays) – The interval endpoints.

Returns

The indicator functions.

Return type

class nutils.function.Namespace(*, default_geometry_name='x', fallback_length=None, functions=None, **kwargs)¶

Bases: object

Namespace for Array objects supporting assignments with tensor expressions.

The Namespace object is used to store Array objects.

>>> from nutils import function
>>> ns = function.Namespace()
>>> ns.A = function.zeros([3, 3])
>>> ns.x = function.zeros([3])
>>> ns.c = 2

In addition to the assignment of Array objects, it is also possible to specify an array using a tensor expression string — see nutils.expression.parse() for the syntax. All attributes defined in this namespace are available as variables in the expression. If the array defined by the expression has one or more dimensions the indices of the axes should be appended to the attribute name. Examples:

>>> ns.cAx_i = 'c A_ij x_j'
>>> ns.xAx = 'x_i A_ij x_j'

It is also possible to simply evaluate an expression without storing its value in the namespace by passing the expression to the method eval_ suffixed with appropriate indices:

>>> ns.eval_('2 c')
Array<>
>>> ns.eval_i('c A_ij x_j')
Array<3>
>>> ns.eval_ij('A_ij + A_ji')
Array<3,3>

For zero and one dimensional expressions the following shorthand can be used:

>>> '2 c' @ ns
Array<>
>>> 'A_ij x_j' @ ns
Array<3>

Sometimes the dimension of an expression cannot be determined, e.g. when evaluating the identity array:

>>> ns.eval_ij('δ_ij')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
nutils.expression.ExpressionSyntaxError: Length of axis cannot be determined from the expression.
δ_ij
  ^

There are two ways to inform the namespace of the correct lengths. The first is to assign fixed lengths to certain indices via keyword argument length_<indices>:

>>> ns_fixed = function.Namespace(length_ij=2)
>>> ns_fixed.eval_ij('δ_ij')
Array<2,2>

Note that evaluating an expression with an incompatible length raises an exception:

>>> ns = function.Namespace(length_i=2)
>>> ns.a = numpy.array([1,2,3])
>>> 'a_i' @ ns
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
nutils.expression.ExpressionSyntaxError: Length of index i is fixed at 2 but the expression has length 3.
a_i
  ^

The second is to define a fallback length via the fallback_length argument:

>>> ns_fallback = function.Namespace(fallback_length=2)
>>> ns_fallback.eval_ij('δ_ij')
Array<2,2>

When evaluating an expression through this namespace the following functions are available: opposite, sin, cos, tan, sinh, cosh, tanh, arcsin, arccos, arctan2, arctanh, exp, abs, ln, log, log2, log10, sqrt and sign.

Additional pointwise functions can be passed to argument functions. All functions should take Array objects as arguments and must return an Array with as shape the sum of all shapes of the arguments.

>>> def sqr(a):
...   return a**2
>>> def mul(a, b):
...   return a[(...,)+(None,)*b.ndim] * b[(None,)*a.ndim]
>>> ns_funcs = function.Namespace(functions=dict(sqr=sqr, mul=mul))
>>> ns_funcs.a = numpy.array([1,2,3])
>>> ns_funcs.b = numpy.array([4,5])
>>> 'sqr(a_i)' @ ns_funcs # same as 'a_i^2'
Array<3>
>>> ns_funcs.eval_ij('mul(a_i, b_j)') # same as 'a_i b_j'
Array<3,2>
>>> 'mul(a_i, a_i)' @ ns_funcs # same as 'a_i a_i'
Array<>

Parameters

default_geometry_name (str) – The name of the default geometry. This argument is passed to nutils.expression.parse(). Default: 'x'.
fallback_length (int, optional) – The fallback length of an axis if the length cannot be determined from the expression.
length_<indices> (int) – The fixed length of <indices>. All axes in the expression marked with one of the <indices> are asserted to have the specified length.
functions (dict, optional) – Pointwise functions that should be available in the namespace, supplementing the default functions listed above. All functions should return arrays with as shape the sum of all shapes of the arguments.
