Description (last modified by )
As discussed in sage-support.
Currently sage can evaluate airy functions numerically:
sage: airy_ai(1.4) 0.0820380498076
but it doesn't work symbolically
sage: airy_ai(x) ... TypeError: Cannot evaluate symbolic expression to a numeric value.
We should make it symbolical for both airy_ai and airy_bi, as well as their derivatives.

Good start. A few responses.
- You'll need to have more methods. We should probably use mpmath to evaluate these functions in general, though using the SciPy version could be useful over RDF. See #11888 for a very recent example of this kind of thing and how to implement it.
- That should also fix precision issues, if properly done, I think.
- SciPy has evaluation for the airy primes. I think that Maxima has these too. (Cc:ing FJ in case he has plans to add these to mpmath.)
- We should have translations of these to Maxima and friends. That will probably help us name them. What do Mathematica and Maple call them?
- All methods, including initialization methods, need doctests. Many of the new symbolic functions added at wiki:symbolics/functions will have nice models to follow.
Thanks for getting us a start on this! That's great.

mpmath has the derivatives (as well as integrals) -- just use the optional 'derivative' parameter.

Ok, I didn't realize that was what that parameter was about. Though in retrospect it seems obvious!
comment:9 Changed 11 years ago by
On second thought, I think it would be better to use the airy equation to calculate derivatives or order higher than 1. Like
sage: airy_ai(2,x) x*airy_ai(x) sage: airy_ai(3,x) airy_ai(x)+x*airy_ai_prime(x) sage: diff(airy_ai(x),x,2) x*airy_ai(x) sage: diff(airy_ai(x),x,3) airy_ai(x)+x*airy_ai_prime(x)
which is very likey to be the way mpmath calculates higher order derivatives. Integrals however, would be returned as:
sage: airy_ai(-1,x) airy_ai(-1,x) sage: integral(airy_ai(x),x) airy_ai(-1,x)
what do you think?

I just added a new patch. The new version includes generalized derivatives, evaluation with mpmath, and special values of the functions and their derivatives. Just a one doubt, the coverage is:

Is that important?
The second part isn't, as you are implicitly testing these 'hidden' functions. By the way,
Examples::
should be
EXAMPLES::
However, the first part (the initialization methods) is important for our coverage. You can just do a couple from the big examples that you have.
Do these pass doctests? I'm surprised that
sage: airy_ai_simple= FunctionAiryAiSimple()
would work when you run tests, assuming you didn't import FunctionAiryAiSimple
into the global namespace.
Anyway, overall on a quick glance this looks great; unfortunately, I won't have time to review it properly soon - hopefully someone else will, because you put a lot of great work into it and we should totally have these symbolic. Thanks!

I'm just surprised this doesn't cause trouble.
On another note, this apparently does something weird when applied to 5.0.beta4. Namely, Sage won't start:
---> 65 from sage.functions.all import sin, cos ImportError: cannot import name sin Error importing ipy_profile_sage - perhaps you should run %upgrade? WARNING: Loading of ipy_profile_sage failed.
I'll spare you the rest of the traceback. I think there is some kind of circular import thing going on here, but I don't understand imports that well. Perhaps moving the import of airy to further down (after trig functions) would help - that's a totally uninformed guess, of course.

I just added a new patch, now with 100 % test coverage, but I still get this message:

What is this TestSuite? thing? I also changed the order in which functions are initialized, so that airy_ai_general is initialized first. Doing it last made some symbolic operations, such as simplify not work (It said something about airy_ai requiring 2 arguments).

Hi Oscar, I haven't looked over your patch very closely yet, but I plan to. One comment on first glance: in several places you call
return mpmath_utils.call(airy_bi_mpmath, x, derivative=1, parent=RR)
but I think we want to preserve the parent of x
instead of forcing it to be RR
. Importing the parent
function from sage.structure.coerce
using a different name like sage_parent
(because as burcin pointed out in one of my tickets, parent is the name of the parameter in _evalf_
) and doing something like
from sage.structure.coerce import parent as sage_parent R = parent or sage_parent(x) return mpmath_utils.call(airy_bi_mpmath, x, derivative=1, parent=R)
would do the trick I think.
Other comment: can we add conversions to Maxima along with the Mma conversion you included? Here is a link to the appropriate chapter in the manual: http://maxima.sourceforge.net/docs/manual/en/maxima_15.html#SEC80

The patch applies to 5.0.beta6 cleanly, but upon sage -br
I get an import error ending with:
/home/jonesbe/sage/sage-5.0.beta6/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sage/gsl/dft.py in <module>() 63 from sage.rings.real_mpfr import RR 64 from sage.rings.all import I ---> 65 from sage.functions.all import sin, cos 66 from sage.gsl.fft import FastFourierTransform 67 from sage.gsl.dwt import WaveletTransform ImportError: cannot import name sin Error importing ipy_profile_sage - perhaps you should run %upgrade? WARNING: Loading of ipy_profile_sage failed.
Seems like the same thing kcrisman ran into with the previous patch applied to 5.0.beta4.
comment:18 Changed 10 years ago by
- Work issues set to circular import, doctest failures
I found the cause of the problem in comment 17. There is a circular import going on because
from airy import airy_ai, airy_bi
occurs at the top of sage/functions/all.py
. If you move it to the bottom of the file, sage starts just fine.
There a several doctests that fail, however. Oscar, I think that running sage -coverage
only checks to see if there are doctest for every function, it doesn't actually run the tests. Use
sage -t devel/sage/sage/functions/airy.py
to run the tests and get feedback.

comment:21 Changed 10 years ago by
Okay, I'm posting this for future reference. I've attempted to preserve as much as possible of the original code while switching to the "new-style" dictionary-argument .n() approach we're working on in #12289, but I'm setting it to "needs work" myself while we think through some of the consequences of the switch. Some of the _evalf_ stuff violates DRY and I'm not yet sure of the best way to deal with it.
As well, the patch currently segfaults in testing when it computes beta(0.5, 0.5) due to some problem with the current #12289 package, which I suspect is unrelated. But I think the new approach is beginning to take shape.

New patch, which should pass all doctests once #12289 is merged.
It makes the following changes:
- Changing an incorrect
airy_bi
identity - Adding
airy.py
to the documentation - Checking whether
n
is an integer (for some reason mpmath is able to evaluate numerically with non-integraln
) - Formatting changes
- Removing the parent's precision check because it wasn't used
- Removing the check for the
parent
keyword because Burcin told me to

(for some reason mpmath is able to evaluate numerically with non-integral n)
But this is even in the documentation you wrote!
Return the `\alpha`-th order fractional derivative with respect to `z`.
"Fractional", right? So ... ? Plus, you do not make this change in airy_bi, only airy_ai, for some reason.
Another question:
sage: (plot(airy_bi(x), (x, -10, 5)) +\
Are we allowing this kind of continuation in doctests still? I can't remember but seem to recall something about this being a problem.
Otherwise this all seems fine.

I didn't write it. But looking at the mpmath documentation, it should work. It didn't work for most values before my patch anyway, but I'll see what I can do.
comment:39 Changed 9 years ago by

Good point, sorry! In fact, it's just copied from the mpmath doc. But now you have taken charge :-) Unfortunately, I can't find a lot of independent implementations of this...

trac_12455-airy_review.patch fixes a couple of problems:
airy_{a,b}i_general
should evaluate toairy_{a,b}i_simple
,airy_{a,b}i_prime
, etc. depending on the first parameter
- differentiating
airy_{a,b}i_general
in the first parameter is not allowed
_evalf_
should not raise errors for unrecognized algorithm argument
This is still needs work because we use indirect doctests everywhere. There is no reason to go through the airy_{a,b}i
wrapper functions. We should call the symbolic functions directly in the doctests. There are also a lot of code paths that are not tested. I changed the fractional order behavior, but didn't need to change any doctests.
It would be great if someone else can fix/add doctests. I will move on to something else now.

comment:42 Changed 9 years ago by
This patch depends on a new release of Pynac and other fixes to make the algorithm
keyword work sensibly. Also, I don't see much point in having the Maxima implementation as an option, considering the fact that it doesn't accept complex input, doesn't have arbitrary precision, and is slower than mpmath (doesn't appear to scale better either).
I'd hate to delay this patch longer, especially considering that the Airy functions are probably among the most-used special functions. Could we remove the Maxima option for now and perhaps add it in the future, maybe along with a patch that adds a SciPy? option as suggested in one of the comments?
comment:43 Changed 9 years ago by
I'm fine with removing Maxima from the options for numerical evaluation (numerical is not generally where Maxima shines). I agree with @burcin, though, that indirect doctests should be fixed wherever possible and become direct tests and that the branch coverage should be higher.
What exactly is the issue with having the Maxima option? Is it the limited precision and domain? We could always check that inputs are okay whenever Maxima is selected and raise an exception otherwise.

It's useless, especially when scipy is implemented as algorithm. OTOH, it introduces more code paths to test and deepens a dependency that is unwanted.
Oh, and scipy is a bit faster:
sage: timeit("airy_bi(2).n(algorithm='maxima')") 625 loops, best of 3: 685 µs per loop sage: timeit("airy_bi(2).n(algorithm='scipy')") 625 loops, best of 3: 124 µs per loop

I think that unrelated patch can be safely removed because scipy evaluation is replaced by mpmath in #14896 (of course hoping that that gets reviewed at some time).

Frédéric, how much of this did you positively review up to now? In principle you and rws can review each other's contributions here. It would take me a while to get up to speed here.

a typo in line 5 of the doc:
Airy functions are solutions to the differential equation `f''(z) +f(z)x=0`.
The differential equation is wrong, should be f'' - x f = 0

What exactly still needs review here?
The code looks pretty good to me overall, but there are lots of things I don't understand in detail. (For a simple example, what is the motivation for splitting the implementation in so many unrelated classes?) And yet I'm tempted to give this ticket positive review (leaving possible remaining issues for later), since many other people have looked at it and it is clearly an improvement over what sage currently has.

More nitpicking, not necessarily for this ticket:
- Raising a
ValueError
inFunctionAiryAiGeneral._derivative_
whendiff_param == 0
may not be the most appropriate, since (if I'm not mistaken) the partial derivative would make sense mathematically. - Is it necessary to special-case
alpha == 0
etc. inFunctionAiryAiGeneral._evalf_
?

Scratch that, I misread the code.

One last thing: IMO hold_derivative
should be True
by default in airy_ai
and airy_bi
, except perhaps when the differentiation order is one. But I don't know if that's consistent with the way things are done in other parts of sage symbolics. Thoughts?

Strange typo.
- Raising a

may not be the most appropriate, since (if I'm not mistaken) the partial derivative would make sense mathematically.
A quick look at old and new code shows 1. ValueError
, 2. NotImplementedError
, 3. assert
. So, this needs to be unified to NotImplementedError
.
One last thing: IMO
hold_derivative
should beTrue
by default inairy_ai
andairy_bi
, except perhaps when the differentiation order is one. But I don't know if that's consistent with the way things are done in other parts of sage symbolics. Thoughts?
I believe the code of this ticket is the only one that has such a parameter, so please feel free to improve it.
I have looked at your patch and it's fine, so if you think the rest is OK please set positive.

Both done (now rather than later to avoid breaking the interface).
I have looked at your patch and it's fine, so if you think the rest is OK please set positive.
I'm okay with everything prior to my commits. Could you (or someone else) have a quick look at my last changes and set the ticket to positive review? Thanks!

I've added a patch, which should do the job, but it has a few shortcomings:
1.-The resulting symbolic functions seem to remain on hold:
You need to force it to evaluate:
2.- This doesn't work:
3.- There is no evaluation for airy_ai_prime or airy_bi_prime
4.- I'm not sure about how should the functions be called, some possible schemes are
{ai,bi,aip,bip} {ai,bai,aip,baip} {airy_ai,airy_bi,airy_ai_prime,airy_bi_prime}
And also whether the latex representation should be capitalized or not. I chose the third scheme, and capitalized typesetting.
