torch-bessel 0.0.6

PyTorch extension package for Bessel functions with arbitrary real order and complex inputs

About

PyTorch extension package for Bessel functions with arbitrary real order and complex inputs

Install

Currently only supports Linux (with CUDA 12.4) or MacOS (Apple silicon, cpu only) with python >= 3.9, <= 3.12.

pip install torch-bessel

Example

import torch_bessel

real, imag = torch.randn(2, 5, device="cuda")
z = torch.complex(real.abs(), imag)  # correctness for inputs in the left-half complex plane is not gauranteed.
torch_bessel.ops.modified_bessel_k0(z)

Implemented functions

• modified_bessel_k0: Same as torch.special.modified_bessel_k0, but also handles backpropagation and complex inputs on cpu and cuda. Correctness is guaranteed on the right-half complex plane for double types, and almost guaranteed for float types, though it appears there are a very small handful of inputs which result in NaNs which needs to be fixed. On cuda, torch.chalf inputs are also supported, though the underlying cuda kernel just upcasts chalf to cfloat (note that this uses no extra GPU memory, as opposed to manually casting torch.chalf to torch.cfloat before calling modified_bessel_k0 which doubles the GPU memory used). On the left-half complex plane, function output appears mostly correct, but with small numerical errors for certain inputs. On the negative real line, output is NaN.

WIP

• modified_bessel_kv: Analogue of scipy.special.kv.
