Description (last modified by )
The attached patch, and spkg implements an interface to Anders Buch's Littlewood-Richardson Calculator lrcalc
The "Littlewood-Richardson Calculator" is a C library for fast
computation of Littlewood-Richardson (LR) coefficients and products of
Schubert polynomials. It handles single LR coefficients, products of
and coproducts of Schur functions, skew Schur functions, and
fusion products. All of the above are achieved by counting LR
(skew)-tableaux (also called Yamanouchi (skew)-tableaux) of
appropriate shape and content by iterating through them.
Additionally, lrcalc
handles products of Schubert polynomials.
The web page of lrcalc
is: http://math.rutgers.edu/~asbuch/lrcalc/
Here is a short extract of the doc:
EXAMPLES:: sage: import sage.libs.lrcalc.lrcalc as lrcalc Compute a single Littlewood-Richardson coefficient:: sage: lrcalc.lrcoef([3,2,1],[2,1],[2,1]) #optional - lrcalc 2 Compute a product of Schur functions; return the coefficients in the Schur expansion:: sage: lrcalc.mult([2,1], [2,1]) #optional - lrcalc {[3, 3]: 1, [4, 2]: 1, [3, 1, 1, 1]: 1, [4, 1, 1]: 1, [2, 2, 2]: 1, [3, 2, 1]: 2, [2, 2, 1, 1]: 1}
Add optional package lrcalc-1.1.6beta.spkg
Apply: trac_10333-lrcalc-final.patch
Making lrcalc into a standard package in the next Sage release is the topic of the followup ticket: #11563

Positive review on the mathematics and features.
Could someone complete the technical review?

Hi,
I used the occasion to do something I had promissed Anders a while ago: namely to add a standard GNU build system (autoconf/automake) to the original lrcalc sources. With this, the SPKG becomes trivial. I'll upload shortly a preversion of it. If Anders agrees with the changes, and once he will have done an official release, I'll upload a final version of the spkg.
Mike: could you review now the three little files: SPKG.txt, spkg-install and spkg-check? Those are unlikely to change.

According to the vote on http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/2e7114375f6f88a5/, there is a consensus on making lrcalc a standard package, after a one release probation period in order to follow the official rule. See: #11563

As far as I know, everything is fine with the ticket except that Nicolas is waiting for confirmation from Anders Buch about the spkg. Nicolas, is everything ok now on this front?
Anne
comment:17 Changed 11 years ago by
Got it ! Then what about setting it to needs_info in the meantime sothat it does not appear in the list of tickets needing a review ? I am trying to deal with some of them, and it would be nice to sort out the tickets which actually need one, those which are to be forgotten until some external event takes place, and those that are totally abandonned :-)

After discussion with Anders, I have rolled a new (beta) release of lrcalc, based on:
- lrcalc-1.1.5.tar.gz
- schmult-1.1.5.tar.gz
- an autotools build system
which Anders will later polish into an official 1.1.6 release. The spkg is basically identical to the previous 1.1.5b, except for some updated files in the lrcalc sources (README/AUTHOR/TODO), and the header installation configuration. Anders gave his +1 on the changes. I have installed the spkg together with the patch on sage 4.7.2 and sage-5.0.prealpha0, and in both cases, all test pass.
The patch is unchanged and has a positive review.
Anne (and others!): could you try out the new spkg? If it works fine for you, I guess we can set a positive review. Feel free to untar the spkg, and check the files src/README, src/AUTHORS, src/TODO, src/NEWS.
Cheers,
Nicolas

Yikes. Is there an idiom to conditionally include a piece of documentation in the reference manual depending on the presence or not of a spkg? (analogue of the is_package_installed in module.list.py).
If not, may we just kill the beast, and make lrcalc right away a standard spkg (#11563)?

If you don't include the documentation in the reference manual (by that, I mean no modification to the file doc/en/reference/libs.rst
), does the warning still shows up when building the documentation?
What is the status of the documentation for other optional packages?

I guess not, so worst case that will be the way to go. But not having the documentation linked to does not feel good.
What is the status of the documentation for other optional packages?
I did not find that many, and as far as I could see, the documentation was not linked to ...

Oh well, I just stripped the link to the lrcalc from libs.rst. Ugly, but if that's the price to pay to abide to the rules ...
Jeroen: I am allowing myself to put back the positive review to catch your attention. Feel free to unset it if you find it innappropriate.

One more thing: the spkg should follow the format of http://sagemath.org/doc/developer/producing_spkgs.html#the-file-spkg-txt. In particular, the Changelog
should be formatted differently.

Oops. Thanks for spotting this. I updated the spkg accordingly. Do you mind reviewing the new SPKG.txt?

I don't understand. Why is this lrcalc.rst file generated, whereas no such file is generated for, e.g. the analoguous sage/numerical/backends/coin_backend.pyx?

. That's presumably the problem.

Together with Anders Buch, I went through this patch at Sage Days 30 and checked all functionalities. We added further doctests and also access to fusion coefficients (which was not in the previous version of this patch).
From the mathematical point of view, I give this a positive review. Could someone please do a quick technical review of the patch?
Thanks!
Anne
