🚀 Quick Start

Installation

Basic Installation

pip install hpfracc

Installation with GPU Support

For GPU acceleration with PyTorch and JAX:

# Install PyTorch with CUDA 12.8 first
pip install torch==2.9.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128

# Then install JAX with CUDA 12 support
pip install --upgrade "jax[cuda12]"

# Install HPFRACC with GPU extras
pip install hpfracc[gpu]

Note: JAX's CUDA 12 wheels are built with CUDA 12.3 but are compatible with CUDA ≥12.1, which includes CUDA 12.8. CUDA libraries are backward compatible, so JAX will work with PyTorch's CUDA 12.8 installation.

Important: Use JAX 0.4.35 or later to resolve jaxlib version conflicts. If you encounter version conflicts, upgrade JAX:

pip install --upgrade "jax>=0.4.35" "jaxlib>=0.4.35"

For Machine Learning Features

pip install hpfracc[ml]  # Includes PyTorch, JAX, and other ML dependencies

🧮 Mathematical Theory

Fractional Calculus Fundamentals

Fractional calculus extends classical calculus to non-integer orders, providing powerful tools for modeling complex systems with memory and non-locality.

Fractional Derivatives

Riemann-Liouville Definition:

D^α f(x) = (1/Γ(n-α)) dⁿ/dxⁿ ∫₀ˣ f(t)/(x-t)^(α-n+1) dt

where n = ⌈α⌉ and Γ is the gamma function.

Caputo Definition:

ᶜD^α f(x) = (1/Γ(n-α)) ∫₀ˣ f^(n)(t)/(x-t)^(α-n+1) dt

Grünwald-Letnikov Definition:

ᴳᴸD^α f(x) = lim(h→0) h^(-α) Σ(k=0)^∞ (-1)^k (α choose k) f(x-kh)

Fractional Stochastic Differential Equations

Fractional SDE:

D^α X(t) = f(t, X(t)) dt + g(t, X(t)) dW(t)

where:

• D^α is the fractional derivative operator (Caputo or Riemann-Liouville)
• f(t, X(t)) is the drift function
• g(t, X(t)) is the diffusion function
