comment:15 follow-ups: ↓ 16 ↓ 18 Changed 5 years ago by
I am having a quick look though this branch, mostly to check for technicalities. It's a lot, so I'm not saying that you really must fix all these for positive_review.
- The naming of the files is inconsistent: why
real_arb
andcomplex_ball_acb
?
- You can remove the
include_dirs=[SAGE_INC + '/flint'])
fromsrc/module_list.py
.
- Ideally, the type declarations in the arb
.pxd
files should be in a different file: try to follow the model ofsrc/sage/libs/gmp
for example. Then you should add# distutils: libraries = arb
to the files with library functions (i.e. not types).
- The
__hash__
forRBF
is bad:sage: from sage.rings.real_arb import RBF sage: hash(RBF(0.6)) 1048577 sage: hash(RBF(0.7)) 1048577 sage: hash(RBF(0.8)) 1048577 sage: hash(RBF(0.9)) 1048577
- For
CBF.__hash__
, what's the point of>> 7
?
- This is a very strange way to handle exceptions, what's wrong with
raise
?if arf_get_mpfr(rad.value, tmp, GMP_RNDN): abort()
- Replace the
GMP_RND
macros byMPFR_RND
.
- You can replace
cdef extern from "math.h": long lrint(double)
by from libc.math cimport lrint
(although I would prefer to not use it in the hash).
- What's with this comment?
# FIXME: RBF is not even associative, but CompletionFunctor # only works with rings, and other coercion features require # methods like is_integral_domain() to be defined category=category or sage.categories.fields.Fields().Infinite())
Your class models a mathematical field (real or complex numbers), so I don't see the problem. How would you want to fix this?
- Now that all this is standard, can you add
RBF
,RealBallField
,CBF
andComplexBallField
to the global namespace and then remove all doctest lines of the formfrom sage.rings.real_arb import RBF
.
- You should really avoid this:
include "sage/ext/python.pxi"
, justcimport
what you need.
- What's the difference between
contains_exact
and__contains__
? I don't understand why you need both these methods.
- When raising exceptions, add a string: don't just
raise TypeError
, butraise TypeError("useful message here")
- You write
.. SEEALSO:: :meth:
abs` but there is no such method.
- I still don't understand why
below_abs
andabove_abs
return a ball instead of a real number. At the very least, this should be documentated in anOUTPUT:
block in those methods.
- This is confusing documentation:
Return the right endpoint of this ball, viewed as an interval.
I would read it like this method returns an interval. Why notReturn the right endpoint of this ball.
?
- I don't understand the purpose of this comment:
# TODO: once CBF is there, also wrap functions that only exist in acb*
- I don't understand what this means:
Return a copy of this ball rounded to the precision of the parent.

Hello Clemens,
Thanks again for your comments and the changes you made.
Replying to cheuberg:
I read the modifications and have the following comments.
arf.pxd
: You definearf_rnd_t
as an enum and rely on the fact that the numeric values ofARF_RND_DOWN
etc. will never change in the C header files. However, there, the values are macros, so I do not know whether we can safely assume the values never to change.
I fear I don't understand what you mean here, sorry. I thought that cython would insert textual references to ARF_RND_*
in the generated C code. Isn't that the case?
polynomial_element.pyx
:
- I am very surprised to see this change here in an arb ticket.
I tend to consider that what matters is commits, not tickets. So I don't have any problem with that as long as it doesn't make the review harder, and I actually feel if it makes reviews easier... But please tell me if you don't like that and I will try to create separate tickets in the future.
- The documentation of
is_gen
states: "Important - this function doesn’t return True if self equals the generator; it returns True if self is the generator." I.e., the outcome differs from the old behaviour.
Good catch! I'd say it is okay, because the operation that really should be fast IMO is x^n
where x = Pol.gen()
, not (2*x - x)^n
, and the new version seems to be about 10% faster when n == 2
. But I'm open to suggestions.
RealBall.__hash__
: I do not like the fact that the fractional part of the midpoint is ignored completely:sage: hash(RBF(3/4)) 1048577 sage: hash(RBF(5/8)) 1048577 sage: hash(RBF(7/8)) 1048577
Yes, I don't know what I was doing with that hash!
RealBall.upper
,RealBall.lower
,RealBall.endpoints
: missing INPUT: and OUTPUT: sections, document and test parameterrnd
The problem here is that, unlike elements of RealIntervalField(p)
, elements of RealBallField(p)
may have endpoints that are not be representable on p
bits. I wasn't sure what to do in this case, so I implemented a quick wrapper for the interval version and then forgot to come back to it. (This is also the reason for the clumsy formulation “viewed as an interval” Jeroen asks about.)
The main options I see are:
- either to return the endpoints rounded (in which direction? we can't be 100% compatible with interval fields!) to the parent's precision,
- or return the exact endpoints, but then, the output parent will be hard to predict.
Which do you think is best?
RealBall.add_error
: missing INPUT: and OUTPUT: sections
What would you suggest to say there?
RealBall.is_nonzero
: The note section is hard to understand because__nonzero__
andis_zero
should do very different things.
I'm not sure I understand your comment. As far as I understand (but all this stuff is very badly documented!), in the rest of Sage, __nonzero__()
means “syntactically nonzero” (for example, the degree()
methods of polynomials look for the leading __nonzero__
term), which for balls is exactly the negation of is_zero()
.
RealBall.__lshift__
,RealBall.__rshift__
: why is the first parameter calledval
instead ofself
and how can it happen that it is not aRealBall
if this is a method ofRealBall
?
That's how special methods work in Cython... See http://docs.cython.org/src/userguide/special_methods.html#arithmetic-methods
ComplexBall._is_atomic
:self.is_real() or self.imag().is_zero()
seems to be redundant. Do you want to sayself.real().is_zero()
instead?
I think so, yes, thanks! But actually I don't understand what _is_atomic()
really should do: for example, the documentation seems to suggest that -2
should not be atomic (since x + -2
is not correct), while it is atomic in various standard rings, and I think it has to in order to avoid redundant parentheses...
comment:18 in reply to: ↑ 15 ; follow-ups: ↓ 22 ↓ 23 Changed 5 years ago by
Hello Jeroen,
Thank you very much for your remarks.
Replying to jdemeyer:
- You can remove the
include_dirs=[SAGE_INC + '/flint'])
fromsrc/module_list.py
.
Are you sure? I get:

files should be in a different file: try to follow the model ofsrc/sage/libs/gmp

A difference is that arb comes with several .h
files (one for each module, with a more or less well-defined dependency graph): are you suggesting to put all the type definitions in a single .pxd
file nevertheless?
- The
__hash__
forRBF
is bad:sage: from sage.rings.real_arb import RBF sage: hash(RBF(0.6)) 1048577 sage: hash(RBF(0.7)) 1048577 sage: hash(RBF(0.8)) 1048577 sage: hash(RBF(0.9)) 1048577
Fixed (see above).
- For

The idea was just to avoid that the λ(1+i) all hash to zero...
- This is a very strange way to handle exceptions, what's wrong with
raise
?if arf_get_mpfr(rad.value, tmp, GMP_RNDN): abort()
I don't remember for sure. I guess I may have wanted to make sure that errors raised by arf_get_mpfr()
itself and errors raised manually give the same exception, and to avoid repeating the error message.
- Replace the
GMP_RND
macros byMPFR_RND
.
Done.
- What's with this comment?
# FIXME: RBF is not even associative, but CompletionFunctor # only works with rings, and other coercion features require # methods like is_integral_domain() to be defined category=category or sage.categories.fields.Fields().Infinite())Your class models a mathematical field (real or complex numbers), so I don't see the problem. How would you want to fix this?
Well, people seem to disagree about the meaning of categories in Sage, and some people apparently assume that a parent that belongs to the category of fields will satisfy the axioms of fields, not just vaguely model a field. This is particularly harmful in the context of interval arithmetic.
In the long term, I'd want to fix this by (i) clarifying the “global conventions” that need to be used consistently across the whole sage codebase and (ii) depending on the outcome, perhaps creating categories for “inexact fields” and the like.
- Now that all this is standard, can you add
RBF
,RealBallField
,CBF
andComplexBallField
to the global namespace and then remove all doctest lines of the formfrom sage.rings.real_arb import RBF

I'm no fan of adding anything to the global namespace, but I'll do it if you insist.
- You should really avoid this:
include "sage/ext/python.pxi"
, justcimport
what you need.
Done.
- What's the difference between
contains_exact
and__contains__
? I don't understand why you need both these methods.
The difference is that contains_exact()
works for fewer kinds of objects, but is guaranteed not to return false negatives, while __contains__()
just does the check at the parent's precision. Of course, one could do with __contains__()
alone, but then it would be too easy to call x in b
by accident with an x
for which it may not return the correct result.
- When raising exceptions, add a string: don't just
raise TypeError
, butraise TypeError("useful message here")
Done. (But I didn't include a message because I couldn't think of a useful message, so I doubt the new version is much better...)
- You write
.. SEEALSO:: :meth:
abs` but there is no such method.
Indeed, I forgot to remove these references, thanks!
- I still don't understand why
below_abs
andabove_abs
return a ball instead of a real number. At the very least, this should be documentated in anOUTPUT:
block in those methods.
Why: because I often compute upper or lower bounds on quantities represented by balls and then do arithmetic operations on the bounds that may result in rounding errors. Representing the bounds themselves as thin intervals is pretty convenient then. I also find that choice more consistent with the rest of the interface of real/complex balls...
I added OUPUT blocks, please tell me if there is anything else you feel these blocks should say.
- This is confusing documentation:
Return the right endpoint of this ball, viewed as an interval.
I would read it like this method returns an interval. Why notReturn the right endpoint of this ball.
?
Indeed! See my answer to Clemens above.
- I don't understand the purpose of this comment:
# TODO: once CBF is there, also wrap functions that only exist in acb*
There are special functions in arb that are only implemented for complex arguments, but that would make sense on sage real balls.
- I don't understand what this means:
Return a copy of this ball rounded to the precision of the parent.
An arb ball has no intrinsic precision, and (more or less because of that), an element of RealBallField(p)
can have a midpoint that doesn't fit on p
bits. The round()
method rounds such elements to the precision of their parent.

I must admit I didn't test it, but it seems the problem comes from arb
(not the Sage library). I'll look into it later.

You can use sig_error()

- What's with this comment?
# FIXME: RBF is not even associative, but CompletionFunctor # only works with rings, and other coercion features require # methods like is_integral_domain() to be defined category=category or sage.categories.fields.Fields().Infinite())Your class models a mathematical field (real or complex numbers), so I don't see the problem. How would you want to fix this?
Well, people seem to disagree about the meaning of categories in Sage, and some people apparently assume that a parent that belongs to the category of fields will satisfy the axioms of fields, not just vaguely model a field. This is particularly harmful in the context of interval arithmetic.
In the long term, I'd want to fix this by (i) clarifying the “global conventions” that need to be used consistently across the whole sage codebase and (ii) depending on the outcome, perhaps creating categories for “inexact fields” and the like.
But that's not at all specific to arb
right, so I'm just confused by this comment. I propose to remove it.
- Now that all this is standard, can you add
RBF
,RealBallField
,CBF
andComplexBallField
to the global namespace and then remove all doctest lines of the formfrom sage.rings.real_arb import RBF
.I'm no fan of adding anything to the global namespace, but I'll do it if you insist.
Why not?
- I don't understand what this means:
Return a copy of this ball rounded to the precision of the parent.
An arb ball has no intrinsic precision, and (more or less because of that), an element of
RealBallField(p)
can have a midpoint that doesn't fit onp
bits. Theround()
method rounds such elements to the precision of their parent.
Now I'm even more confused... I still have no clue what you mean.

There are special functions in arb that are only implemented for complex arguments, but that would make sense on sage real balls.

I agree, I already considered making that change several times. Actually, at some point, I'd like to reorganize the code of variants of real and complex numbers in order to make them more consistent with each other and reduce code duplication a little, and I think it would make sense to move them all to a new package sage.rings.numerical
(or similar) then.

I was reading the real_arb
documentation and this caught my eye:
Warning

I'm not sure that we should do that. It's not what intervals do: I would expect x*x
to be different from x^2
.
comment:36 follow-up: ↓ 40 Changed 5 years ago by
I consider this a bug:
It is possible to construct a ball whose parent is the real ball field with precision p but whose midpoint does not fit on p bits. However, the results of operations involving such a ball will (usually) be rounded to its parent’s precision.
It causes too much confusion for example with the round()
function. It's also too different from all other places in Sage which handle precision.

I do not understand what you mean.
Arb's documentation says that "An important caveat applies to aliasing of input variables. Identical pointers are understood to give permission for algebraic simplification."
The documentation of the real_arb class has a "Warning" box stating "Identical RealBall objects are understood to give permission for algebraic simplification. This assumption is made to improve performance."

ok. Forget it.
polynomial_element.pyx
:
- I am very surprised to see this change here in an arb ticket.
I tend to consider that what matters is commits, not tickets. So I don't have any problem with that as long as it doesn't make the review harder, and I actually feel if it makes reviews easier... But please tell me if you don't like that and I will try to create separate tickets in the future.
It makes reviewing harder as I do not really want to interfere with the polynomials guys ...
- The documentation of
is_gen
states: "Important - this function doesn’t return True if self equals the generator; it returns True if self is the generator." I.e., the outcome differs from the old behaviour.Good catch! I'd say it is okay, because the operation that really should be fast IMO is
x^n
wherex = Pol.gen()
, not(2*x - x)^n
, and the new version seems to be about 10% faster whenn == 2
. But I'm open to suggestions.
Well, I would have preferred to have somebody else to decide about that;
RealBall.upper
,RealBall.lower
,RealBall.endpoints
: missing INPUT: and OUTPUT: sections, document and test parameterrnd
The problem here is that, unlike elements of
RealIntervalField(p)
, elements ofRealBallField(p)
may have endpoints that are not be representable onp
bits. I wasn't sure what to do in this case, so I implemented a quick wrapper for the interval version and then forgot to come back to it. (This is also the reason for the clumsy formulation “viewed as an interval” Jeroen asks about.)The main options I see are:
- either to return the endpoints rounded (in which direction? we can't be 100% compatible with interval fields!) to the parent's precision,
- or return the exact endpoints, but then, the output parent will be hard to predict.
Which do you think is best?
current behaviour is fine for me.
RealBall.add_error
: missing INPUT: and OUTPUT: sectionsWhat would you suggest to say there?
I'd like to know what ampl
shall be (any rational number? ball?) and that I'd prefer to state that
OUTPUT:
A complex ball.
(the description seems to be worded as an inline operation, but it actually returns a new ball).
RealBall.is_nonzero
: The note section is hard to understand because__nonzero__
andis_zero
should do very different things.I'm not sure I understand your comment. As far as I understand (but all this stuff is very badly documented!), in the rest of Sage,
__nonzero__()
means “syntactically nonzero” (for example, thedegree()
methods of polynomials look for the leading__nonzero__
term), which for balls is exactly the negation ofis_zero()
.
I'd prefer something which separates the two messages of the one sentence, e.g. "Use __nonzero__()
to check that a ball is not exactly the zero ball (for instance, to determine the “degree” of a polynomial with ball coefficients). In fact, __nonzero__()
is the negation of is_zero()
, whereas is_nonzero()
only returns True
if 0
is known not to be in the ball."

Is there a particular reason for not using lazy_import

Apart from that question, all my concerns have been dealt with and as far as I can see, Jeroen's comments are also all taken into account.
I think that #19568 is not too related to the changes in this ticket (RealBallField
was never marked as experimental, as that decorator did not yet exist when it was introduced).
Therefore, I intend to set this ticket to positive as soon as the question about lazy imports is settled.

So the patchbot could reproduce the problem (and in the meantime, I could also reproduce it). Thus I reset the branch to the earlier commit.
The commit with the lazy import is still available as branch u/cheuberg/19152-arb-misc-lazy-import
if somebody wants to debug this.
My intention now is to set this ticket to positive review as it is in the next few days unless somebody objects.

Fine with me; There seems to be something fishy with lazy import and coercion. Can you open a new ticket and push your lazy-import branch there?

I just noticed a stupid bug in the new __hash__
(07e365c509fbbd6e54da9e172f1845f6d24971c9
): I forgot to fmpz_init
some variables. Would you prefer me to fix it here or to open a new ticket?

It's safer to do it in a new ticket (The release manager might already have pulled this ticket for inclusion).
