Yanked

This release has been yanked by its maintainers, and will be ignored by installers, except when explicitly specified.
Consider using release 0.2.3 instead.
Reason given by maintainers: Math functions and comparisons return wrong results under the "auto" derivative method, silently in several cases. Fixed in 0.2.2; use 0.2.2 or later.

YAPSS: Yet Another Pseudo-Spectral Solver

YAPSS is a Python library for formulating and solving optimal-control problems with pseudospectral methods.

YAPSS provides:

Legendre-Gauss, Legendre-Gauss-Radau, and Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto collocation methods, using a computational approach based on the GPOPS-II algorithm of Patterson and Rao (2014)
Multiple differentiation approaches: automatic differentiation via CasADi, user-supplied derivatives, and central-difference numerical differentiation for problems not amenable to automatic differentiation
Multi-phase problems and segmented meshes
An interface designed to identify common formulation errors early
Worked examples as both Python scripts and Jupyter notebooks

Start here

Install YAPSS.
Work through the tutorial to define and solve a first problem.
Browse the examples for complete applications.

Installation

YAPSS requires Python 3.10 or later. Install it into a virtual environment with pip:

$ python -m venv yapss-env
$ source yapss-env/bin/activate
(yapss-env) $ python -m pip install --upgrade pip
(yapss-env) $ python -m pip install yapss

Alternatively, install it with Conda:

$ conda create -n yapss-env python=3.10
$ conda activate yapss-env
(yapss-env) $ conda install -c conda-forge yapss

Verify the Installation

Run the HS071 example, a small constrained optimization problem:

(yapss-env) $ python -m yapss.examples.hs071

YAPSS is installed correctly if the run finishes, and the output ends with

Objective value
f(x*) = 1.701402e+01

YAPSS solution is correct.

The value of the final digits of the objective may vary between platforms and solver versions.
