Generation of Q-coefficients for Spectral Deferred Corrections (and other time-integration methods ...)
Project description
QMat Package
qmat
is a python package to generate matrix coefficients related to Collocation methods, Spectral Deferred Corrections (SDC),
and more general multi-stages time-integration methods (like Runge-Kutta, etc ...).
It allows to generate $Q$-coefficients for multi-stages methods (equivalent to Butcher tables) :
$$ Q\text{-coefficients : } \begin{array}{c|c} \tau & Q \ \hline . & w^\top \end{array} \quad \Leftrightarrow \quad \begin{array}{c|c} c & A \ \hline . & b^\top \end{array} \quad\text{(Butcher table)} $$
and many different lower-triangular approximation of the $Q$ matrix, named $Q_\Delta$, which are key elements for Spectral Deferred Correction (SDC), or more general Iterated Runge-Kutta Methods.
Installation
🛠️ Still in construction, only installation from source is enable yet, see current instructions ...
Basic usage
📜 If you are already familiar with those concepts, you can use this package like this :
from qmat import genQCoeffs, genQDeltaCoeffs
# Coefficients or specific collocation method
nodes, weights, Q = genQCoeffs("Collocation", nNodes=4, nodeType="LEGENDRE", quadType="RADAU-RIGHT")
# QDelta matrix from Implicit-Euler based SDC
QDelta = genQDeltaCoeffs("IE", nodes=nodes)
# Butcher table of the classical explicit RK4 method
c, b, A = genQCoeffs("ERK4")
🔔 If you are not familiar with SDC or related methods, and want to learn more about it, checkout the latest documentation build and in particular the step by step tutorials
