Sebastien Labbe's Research code

## Project description

This is an optional package for SageMath containing code I wrote for research. It contains modules on the following topics.

Discrete dynamical systems

diophantine approximation, Markov transformations, Wang tilings, Lyapunov exponents, matrix cocycles, multidimensional continued fraction algorithms, polyhedron exchange transformations, GIFS.

Combinatorics

2d substitutions, bispecial factors, bond percolation, Dyck word in 3D, words, Joyal bijection, languages, Oldenburger sequence, ostrowski numeration, partial injections,

Digital geometry

Christoffel graph, discrete subset, discrete plane, double square tiles, polyhedron partitions,

Vizualization

tikzpicture

Miscellaneous

analyze Sage build time, fruit Python classes example, ranking scale

## Prerequisites - System packages (easy to install)

Some functionalities of slabbe package depend on the installation of packages on the system such as libpari-dev, pdflatex, lualatex (lualatex compiles large tikzpicture exceeding the memory limits of pdflatex), pdf2svg as well as softwares including ImageMagick (to convert pdf to png so that tikzpicture appear directly in the Jupyter notebook), Graphviz (to draw graphs).

On Debian or Ubuntu, one may do:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libpari-dev -y
sudo apt install texlive texlive-latex-extra texlive-luatex texlive-fonts-extra -qy
sudo apt install graphviz imagemagick pdf2svg -y

The installation of imagemagick done above provides the command convert but it does not allow to convert pdf to png unless you edit the Imagemagick’s policy.xml file which can be done as follows (thanks to Naveed’s comment on stackoverflow):

sudo sed -i '/PDF/s/none/read|write/' /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml

On OSX, one should first install Homebrew. Then one can install the above packages similarly as above using brew instead of apt:

sudo brew install graphviz imagemagick pdf2svg

## Prerequisites - SageMath optional packages

Installing slabbe requires a working SageMath installation (with Cython and gcc). Depending on the usage, it might be necessary to install the optional sagemath packages dot2tex (translate dot file to tikz to draw nice graphs), glucose (SAT solver) and latte_int:

sage -i dot2tex glucose latte_int

Note that graphviz must be installed before dot2tex.

## Installation

The module is distributed on PyPI and is easily installed through the Python package manager pip:

sage -pip install slabbe

To install the module in your user space (which does not require administrator rights):

sage -pip install slabbe --user

To install the most recent development version:

sage -pip install --upgrade git+https://gitlab.com/seblabbe/slabbe

Usage:

sage: from slabbe import *

## Other Python packages you may want to install

Some functionalities of slabbe package depend on the installation of few Python libraries such as pytimeparse (time expression parser) and roman (integer to Roman numerals converter):

sage -pip install pytimeparse roman

## Other System packages you may want to install

Some functionalities of slabbe package depend on the installation of a linear program solver such as Gurobi. See the thematic tutorial to setup the installation of Gurobi in SageMath.

## It builds on SageMath

It depends heavily on the SageMath library as it uses the following modules: combinat, functions, geometry, graphs, matrix, misc, modules, numerical, parallel, plot, probability, rings, sat, sets, structure, symbolic.

SageMath is free open source math software that supports research and teaching in algebra, geometry, number theory, cryptography, and related areas.

## Follows the Best practices for scientific computing

It follows as much as possible the SageMath general conventions and the Best Practices for Scientific Computing. Each module is fully documented and doctested. Before each new release, we make sure that all examples are working. As the ReScience Journal says: “Reproducible science is good. Replicated Science is better”.

## Future inclusion into Sage

Some modules may have a wider interest to the SageMath community (tikz_picture.py for example) and could be included in SageMath at some point. Please contact the author if you want to act as a reviewer for some module(s) and I will create a ticket on trac for its inclusion into SageMath.
