walnut-kernel 0.3.1

Simple kernel for Walnut

walnut_kernel

walnut_kernel is a simple Jupyter kernel for Walnut.

Installation

To install walnut_kernel from PyPI:

    pip install walnut_kernel

Using the Walnut kernel

Before using the kernel with notebooks or console frontends, you need a compiled copy of Walnut and to set the following environment variables:

• WALNUT_HOME should point to a writable directory containing all the Walnut files (Result/, Custom Bases/, ...);
• WALNUT_JAR should point to the walnut.jar main JAR file.

Magic commands

This kernel is build with Metakernel and supports several convenient magic functions including %%file and %%python.

This kernel also provides its own magics:

• %showme LAPIN: displays the graphiz file Result/LAPIN.gv (convenient to display automata in notebooks);
• %DT blop "a->ab, b->a": compute the Dumont-Thomas numeration system associated to the substitution a->ab, b->a with its addition. The resulting numeration system is msd_blop and the DFAO is Blop;
• %DT blop "a->aba, b->b" 30: when the Dumont-Thomas numeration system is not X-Pisot, a bound is needed;
• %SGT maple ns dfao: compute the DFAO dfao in numeration system ns using the semigroup trick from the linear representation of a rational serie given in Maple file maple (generated by Walnut);
• %EQ maple1 maple2: test if the rational series given in the Maple files maple1 and maple2 (generated by Walnut) are equal.
