surface-dynamics 0.4.0

Dynamics on surfaces

The surface_dynamics package for SageMath adds functionality related to interval exchange transformations, translation surfaces, mapping classes and more. It is distributed as an external Python package. It installs on top of an existing Sage installation (tested on versions 8.0, 8.1 and 8.2).

This package is based on SageMath and relies heavily on:

• gmp or mpir for arbitrary precision arithmetic

• PARI/GP for number field computations

• GAP for finite groups representation and permutation groups

• PPL (Parma Polyhedra Library) and LattE (Lattice point Enumeration) for polytope computations

Prerequisites

Installing surface_dynamics requires a working Sage installation (with Cython and gcc). It is also recommanded to install the optional SageMath packages gap_packages, database_gap and latte_int.

Installation

The module is distributed on PyPI. You just need to run the following command:

$ sage -pip install surface_dynamics [--user]

The –user option is optional and allows to install the module in your user space (and does not require administrator rights).

Check

After installing surface_dynamics, check that it works by launching Sage and typing the following commands. You should get the same output as below.:

sage: from surface_dynamics.all import *
sage: o = Origami('(1,2)','(1,3)')
sage: o
