pip install dyada[drawing,matplotlib,opengl]

Or, if you would like to change the source code, do

git clone https://github.com/freifrauvonbleifrei/DyAda.git
# ... git checkout the required version ...
pip install -e DyAda[drawing,matplotlib,opengl]

Dyadic Adaptivity

Dyadic adaptivity means: A given hypercube of 2 or more dimensions may or may not be subdivided into two parts in any number of dimensions. Of the resulting sub-boxes, each may again be subdivided into two in any dimension, and so forth.

Why Dyadic Adaptivity?

Currently, the most common approach to adaptivity are octrees, which are a special type of dyadic adaptivity: Each box is either refined in every dimension or not at all. For a three-d domain, the tree and the resulting partitioning could look like this:

But maybe you didn't need all this resolution?

Maybe, in the finely-resolved areas, you only needed only some of the dimensions resolved finely:

This is what DyAda provides.

The tree will then look like this:

And you will only have to use 14 degrees of freedom instead of 29! This reduction will be even stronger if you go to higher dimensions.
