The heyókȟa [...] is a kind of sacred clown in the culture of the Sioux (Lakota and Dakota people) of the Great Plains of North America. The heyoka is a contrarian, jester, and satirist, who speaks, moves and reacts in an opposite fashion to the people around them.

heyoka.py is a Python library for the integration of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) via Taylor's method, based on automatic differentiation techniques and aggressive just-in-time compilation via LLVM. Notable features include:

  • support for single-precision, double-precision, extended-precision (80-bit and 128-bit), and arbitrary-precision floating-point types,
  • high-precision zero-cost dense output,
  • accurate and reliable event detection,
  • builtin support for analytical mechanics - bring your own Lagrangians/Hamiltonians and let heyoka.py formulate and solve the equations of motion,
  • builtin support for high-order variational equations - compute not only the solution, but also its partial derivatives,
  • builtin support for machine learning applications via neural network models,
  • the ability to maintain machine precision accuracy over tens of billions of timesteps,
  • batch mode integration to harness the power of modern SIMD instruction sets (including AVX/AVX2/AVX-512/Neon/VSX),
  • ensemble simulations and automatic parallelisation,
  • interoperability with SymPy.

heyoka.py is based on the heyoka C++ library.
