Description
Currently, the iterator looks like this.
def __iter__(self): from sage.sets.recursively_enumerated_set import RecursivelyEnumeratedSet return iter(RecursivelyEnumeratedSet(seeds=[self.one()], successors=lambda g: (g._mul_(h) for h in self.gens())))
Perhaps it would be faster to use a strong_generating_system to iterate through the group.

You can probably get some more speed by doing the initial step in the __iter__
function and then do the remaining steps with SGS
being explicitly given. It is probably faster to also do
S = SGS.pop() if not SGS: for g in S: yield g else: for s in elements(self, SGS): for g in S: yield s._mul_(g)

I don't quite follow. We would still have to compute SGS in this case, won't we? This seems to be the slow part, at least in the first example above with 60000 elements.
It is probably faster to also do ...
That makes it a little faster, thanks!

This computation takes much less time in gap
directly, I thus expect that doing
SGS = self.strong_generating_system(base)
directly in gap rather than in sage would improve the iteration in this case drastically. (I just tried for a bit but failed. The code in gap directly is

I also made some tests and think that the permutation group method strong_generating_system
is much slower than necessary (see the above example where this algo is slower than the brute force). In particular, there is a lot of talking back and forth between sage and gap. Anyway, for my purposes, this is a non-issue. @Dima, do you know how to easily make this method fast?

The new method is much faster than the old, but then slowed down by casting the output to sage:
sage: sage: p = [(i,i+1) for i in range(1,601,2)] ....: sage: q = [tuple(range(1+i,601,3)) for i in range(3)] ....: sage: A = PermutationGroup([p,q]) sage: %time XX = SGS_old(A) CPU times: user 3.67 s, sys: 664 ms, total: 4.34 s Wall time: 4.45 s sage: %time XX = SGS_new(A, True) CPU times: user 4.94 ms, sys: 712 µs, total: 5.65 ms Wall time: 14 ms sage: %time XX = SGS_new(A, False) CPU times: user 2.48 s, sys: 116 ms, total: 2.59 s Wall time: 2.61 s

Because this provides a list of strong generators for the stabilizer chain, but not a list of coset reprs:
gap> P := Group([(1,2),(1,2,3,4)]); Group([ (1,2), (1,2,3,4) ]) gap> S := StabChain(P); <stabilizer chain record, Base [ 1, 2, 3 ], Orbit length 4, Size: 24> gap> CosetsStabChain(S); [ [ () ], [ (), (3,4) ], [ (), (2,4,3), (2,3,4) ], [ (), (1,4)(2,3), (1,2)(3,4), (1,3)(2,4) ] ] gap> StrongGeneratorsStabChain(S); [ (3,4), (2,3,4), (1,2)(3,4), (1,4)(2,3) ]
comment:26 Changed 4 years ago by
And why not using...
Let me add that the gap code above is simply taken from the ElementsStabChain
code from gap (see PageSource(ElementsStabChain)
) and returning the cosets rather than the elements. If there was a builtin function that does this, I would be surprised if it is not used there (though it might be possible for speed reasons).
comment:27 Changed 4 years ago by
Historically, little attention was paid to the problem at hand, and indeed, iteration over all the elements of a group G, rather than doing something more intelligent, is almost surely an indication of something done without enough thought.
E.g.,
- would knowing the coset representatives of a subgroup H<G and generators for H suffice?
- would knowing the words in generators rather than permutations suffice?
- can an adavntage be taken of a short base for G?

Yeah, if the iterator at hand uses (pexpect) GAP, merely converting it to libGAP would be quite a speedup, I suppose.
comment:29 Changed 4 years ago by
Well, let me wrap up the discussion so for:
- Moritz implemented an iteration using a short base and a stabilizer chain which are both implemented in gap (using the Schreier-Sims algorithm), see the attached branch. This already speeded the iteration in most situations drastically.
- Permutation group elements are faster multiplied in sage than in gap, so we want to do it there.
- The remaining bottleneck is the computation of the strong generating system for which I provided code in gap. This is now also really fast, except for the translation of the gap permutations to sage. I still need help to get this last issue disappear.
comment:30 Changed 4 years ago by
GAP has a function Elements()
which enumerates the elements of a group, did you try it directly? Probably you're reinventing the wheel...
I cannot believe that permutation multiplication in (lib)GAP is slower than in Sage. You are probably doing lots of slow conversions between Sage and pexpect GAP.
comment:31 Changed 4 years ago by
Before comparing any of these functions, we should have a way to fast translate gap permutations to sage permutations. Otherwise, this would even much more so spoil the use of the gap function Elements
which then results in all permutations to be translated from gap to sage.
Here are some preliminary timings for the Coxeter group of type E7
:
In gap, the iteration needs 9.2 secs:
gap> P := Group([(1,64)(3,12)(8,19)(15,23)(16,20)(21,26)(25,30)(27,33)(29,35)(31,34)(32,40)(36,41)(37,44)(38,43)(45,47)(49,52)(62,63)(66,75)(71,82)(78,86)(79,83)(84,89)(88,93)(90,96)(92,98)(94,97)(95,103)(99,104)(100,107)(101,106)(108,110)(112,115)(125,126), (2,65)(4,9)(8,15)(13,18)(14,24)(16,21)(19,23)(20,26)(22,28)(25,31)(27,36)(30,34)(33,41)(50,55)(54,56)(57,59)(58,60)(67,72)(71,78)(76,81)(77,87)(79,84)(82,86)(83,89)(85,91)(88,94)(90,99)(93,97)(96,104)(113,118)(117,119)(120,122)(121,123), (1,12)(3,66)(4,8)(9,15)(13,16)(14,25)(18,21)(22,27)(24,31)(28,36)(35,39)(40,42)(43,46)(44,48)(47,51)(52,53)(61,62)(64,75)(67,71)(72,78)(76,79)(77,88)(81,84)(85,90)(87,94)(91,99)(98,102)(103,105)(106,109)(107,111)(110,114)(115,116)(124,125), (2,9)(3,8)(4,67)(5,13)(11,14)(12,19)(17,22)(21,29)(26,35)(31,32)(34,40)(36,38)(41,43)(48,50)(51,54)(53,57)(60,61)(65,72)(66,71)(68,76)(74,77)(75,82)(80,85)(84,92)(89,98)(94,95)(97,103)(99,101)(104,106)(111,113)(114,117)(116,120)(123,124), (4,13)(5,68)(6,11)(8,16)(9,18)(10,17)(15,21)(19,20)(23,26)(32,37)(38,45)(40,44)(42,48)(43,47)(46,51)(57,58)(59,60)(67,76)(69,74)(71,79)(72,81)(73,80)(78,84)(82,83)(86,89)(95,100)(101,108)(103,107)(105,111)(106,110)(109,114)(120,121)(122,123), (5,11)(6,69)(7,10)(13,14)(16,25)(18,24)(20,30)(21,31)(26,34)(29,32)(35,40)(39,42)(45,49)(47,52)(51,53)(54,57)(56,59)(68,74)(70,73)(76,77)(79,88)(81,87)(83,93)(84,94)(89,97)(92,95)(98,103)(102,105)(108,112)(110,115)(114,116)(117,120)(119,122), (6,10)(7,70)(11,17)(14,22)(24,28)(25,27)(30,33)(31,36)(32,38)(34,41)(37,45)(40,43)(42,46)(44,47)(48,51)(50,54)(55,56)(69,73)(74,80)(77,85)(87,91)(88,90)(93,96)(94,99)(95,101)(97,104)(100,108)(103,106)(105,109)(107,110)(111,114)(113,117)(118,119)]); <permutation group with 7 generators> gap> Length(Elements(P)); time; 2903040 9255
while in sage, it only takes 4.3 secs of which 0.7 secs are spend constructing the strong generating system:
sage: P = CoxeterGroup(["E",7], implementation="permutation") sage: %time X = P.strong_generating_system(P.base()) CPU times: user 632 ms, sys: 71.6 ms, total: 703 ms Wall time: 718 ms sage: P = CoxeterGroup(["E",7], implementation="permutation") sage: %time len(list(P.__iter_alt__())) CPU times: user 4.11 s, sys: 208 ms, total: 4.32 s Wall time: 4.34 s 2903040
So I expect this to go down below 4 sec if we speed the strong generating system.
comment:32 Changed 4 years ago by
Do you know that GAP actually has iterators? With P as in comment 31:
gap> si:=IteratorStabChain(StabChain(P)); <iterator> gap> l:=[];; gap> for i in si do Add(l,i); od; gap> Length(l);
is about 30% faster than Elements(P)
- the latter actually will also sort the elements, perhaps that's why.
Moreover, in for i
loop about 60% of time is taken by Add()
.
(I measured this by replacing Add()
by a counter increment).
comment:33 follow-up: ↓ 52 Changed 4 years ago by
Oh, I forgot that Elements
sorts the output, thanks for the reminder and for improving the timing comparisons:
gap> si:=IteratorStabChain(StabChain(P));; time; 4 gap> i:=0;; gap> for j in si do i:=i+1; od; time; 2608 gap> i; 2903040
vs.
sage: i = 0 sage: %time for _ in P.__iter_alt__(): i+=1 CPU times: user 1.97 s, sys: 80.2 ms, total: 2.05 s Wall time: 2.08 s sage: i 2903040
(Is this now the timing you think is optimal in gap?) If this is the case, sage is still faster, and, again, 0.7secs are overhead that can be remomved from the sage timing, pushing it to roughly 1.5secs.
comment:34 Changed 4 years ago by
I wonder whether the SGSs in these tests use the same base.
I must say that I also don't understand the recursive code in the branch on the ticket. I suspect it won't work correctly if SGS's elements are not involutions. (E.g. if the group is cyclic, then there should be a loop over the powers of the only generator in SGS, no?)
comment:35 Changed 4 years ago by
The algorithm in sage now is the very same as the one in gap, there is no structural difference. For a general description, see for example https://math.stackexchange.com/a/1706006/234820.
In particular, both use the same base and the same stabilizer chain.
I suspect it won't work correctly if SGS's elements are not involutions.
This is not correct if I understand it correctly. In particular, the elements in the SGS are usually not only involutions, for example
sage: S = PermutationGroup([(1,2),(1,2,3)]) sage: S.strong_generating_system() [[(), (1,2,3), (1,3,2)], [(), (2,3)], [()]]
and the SGS is not a generating set for the group itself. Another example of a cyclic group is
sage: P = PermutationGroup([(1,2,3,4)]) sage: for elt in P.__iter_alt__(): print elt () (1,4,3,2) (1,3)(2,4) (1,2,3,4)
and the stabilizer chain is trivial (i.e., the chain of cosets is a single coset of the trivial subgroup).
comment:36 Changed 4 years ago by
ok, so these are for g in S
loops that iterate over subgroups S, right?
What iterator is there? Do you want to use your iterator there, explicitly?
comment:37 follow-up: ↓ 38 Changed 4 years ago by
Sorry, I am slightly lost now in what you are asking -- let me try to answer anyway.
Let S be a permutation group in sage. The current iterator for g in S
iterates by a brute force algorithm through the elements keeping the complete group in memory to check if an element was seen before.
The new algorithm reimplements the algorithm used in gap, and indeed takes the important ingredients from gap. gap computes a chain e = S1 in S2 in ... in Sk = S
of subgroups (obtained using the Schreier-Sims algorithm) for which the cosets of Si
inside S{i+1}
are particularly easy to compute.
This yields a sequence of cosets [e]=C1, C2, ..., Ck
such that every element in S
has a unique representation g = g1*...*gk
for gi in Ci
.
In sage, the new algorithm is to
- directly compute in gap the list
C1, C2, ..., Ck
- translate the elements in all these lists to sage (this takes too long and should be improved)
- produce an iterator for all elements in
S
by iterating over all products of elements in these lists.
Let me know if you meant something else...

No, S = SGS.pop()
so S = Ci
is the next layer of coset representatives. Let us go through the code with the notation as above:
def elements(SGS): S = SGS.pop() if not SGS: for g in S: yield g else: for s in elements(SGS): for g in S: yield s._mul_(g)
Given such a sequence SGS = C1,C2,...,Ci
, elements(SGS)
iterates over all elements in Si
. This is done by recursively doing the computation for C1,C2,..,C{i-1}
and then yielding all elements in S{i-1}
multiplied with all elements in S=Ci
.
comment:40 Changed 4 years ago by
Well, by right, SGS is a generating set. So your naming scheme (no other documentation :-)) is misleading...
comment:41 Changed 4 years ago by
SGS is a strong generating system taken from the sage naming scheme. The later might be misleading, though, since it is not a generating set but a sequence of coset reprs...

so the iterations are equally fast, but the translation from gap permutations to sage permutations takes 2.5 secs.

No, I just do now know how to do it, see my above comment from comment:25 .
You can have a look at CossidentePenttilaGraph() for the use of libgap.function_factory
(so that you can basically call your own GAP function via libgap).
So you can change your code as follows:
gap_cosets = libgap.function_factory("""function ( S0 ) local CosetsStabChain; CosetsStabChain := function(S) # for the recursive call local cosets, # element list, result new_coset, # pnt, # point in the orbit of <S> rep; # inverse representative for that point # if <S> is trivial then it is easy if Length(S.generators) = 0 then cosets := [ [S.identity] ]; # otherwise else # compute the elements of the stabilizer cosets := CosetsStabChain( S.stabilizer ); # loop over all points in the orbit new_coset := []; for pnt in S.orbit do # add the corresponding coset to the set of elements rep := S.identity; while S.orbit[1] ^ rep <> pnt do rep := LeftQuotient( S.transversal[pnt/rep], rep ); od; Add( new_coset, rep ); od; Add( cosets, new_coset ); fi; # return the result return cosets; end; return CosetsStabChain(S0); end;""")
Now one can do
sage: G=libgap.AlternatingGroup(4) sage: S=G.StabChain() sage: gap_cosets(S) [ [ () ], [ (), (2,4,3), (2,3,4) ], [ (), (1,4,3), (1,3,4), (1,2,4) ] ]
another useful thing is syntax like G=libgap(PermutationGroup([(1,2)]))
to convert

Thank you, Dima! I did these changes together with tons of small changes that had a huge impact on the running time.
Beside this, I arrived at the following, and wonder if this is okay doing: Given I have
- a
PermutationGroupElement
"sample" and - a
list
"new_perm" representing a permutation in one-line notation in the *same permutation group* as "sample"
It seems that, oddly, we do not have a fast way of generating new permutations from these lists, despite the fact that we can multiply permutations very fast. I thus provide a new PermutationGroupElement
method _generate_new
that basically takes a copy from the given PermutationGroupElement
and only overwrites its underlying c list. The code is basically copied from _mul_
.
An example would be
sage: S = PermutationGroup(SymmetricGroup(4).gens()) sage: sample = S([2,3,4,1]) sage: lst1 = [] sage: lst2 = [2,1] sage: lst3 = [4,3,2,1] sage: pi1 = sample._generate_new(lst1); pi1 () sage: pi2 = sample._generate_new(lst2); pi2 (1,2) sage: pi3 = sample._generate_new(lst3); pi3 (1,4)(2,3)

I set this to "needs review" for a technical review of the code where I still hope for input for improvements (which will not only be relevant for my particular purpose!).
Once this is settled, I propose to use the now PermutationGroup
iterator per default (and I would also be interested in examples where the old iterator is still faster).

The right thing to do (not on this ticket, I guess it's a nontrivial amount of work) is to convert the whole sage/groups/perm_gps
to libGAP.
This ticket shows that the performance improvements are big.
comment:54 Changed 4 years ago by
This ticket shows that the performance improvements are big
Let me remark that the biggest performance boost came from generating new permutation group elements from old using the new _generate_new
method. The use of libGAP also played a role, though.
comment:55 Changed 4 years ago by
1) Regarding the timing (GAP iterator vs your iterator). Am I right that they both operate with (lib)GAP data? (i.e. that mul call on permutations in __iter_alt__
, is it actually in (lib)GAP?)
2) I don't understand the hack one._generate_new(libgap.ListPerm?(elt).sage()). I thought that libgap has a fast method to convert GAP permutations to Sage. E.g.
sage: G=libgap.AlternatingGroup(4) sage: gg=G.GeneratorsOfGroup() sage: gg.sage() [(1,2,3), (2,3,4)] sage: type(g.sage()[0]) <type 'sage.groups.perm_gps.permgroup_element.PermutationGroupElement'> sage: type(g[0]) <type 'sage.libs.gap.element.GapElement_Permutation'>
comment:56 follow-up: ↓ 57 Changed 4 years ago by
i.e. that mul call on permutations in iter_alt, is it actually in (lib)GAP?
No, this is pure cython and uses PermutationGroupElement._mul_(left, _right)
, no (lib)GAP involved here.
Since both algorithms are the same, and the strong generating set in the Sage version is taken through libGAP, I suspect that the time advantage of Sage really comes from this superfast cython multiplication of permutation group elements.
I thought that libgap has a fast method to convert GAP permutations to Sage
This is not the case: libgap uses GapElement_Permutation.sage
which returns PermutationGroupElement(libgap.ListPerm(self).sage())
, so it goes through the ordinary permutation group element constructor that is very slow because of tons of checks. This is why I wrote _generate_new
that just uses the data from a given element and overwrites its c array containing the permutation:
sage: P = PermutationGroup([(1,2),(1,2,3,4)]) sage: one = P.one() sage: l = [4,3,2,1] sage: %timeit P(l) 1000 loops, best of 3: 579 µs per loop sage: %timeit one._generate_new(l) The slowest run took 39.93 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached. 1000000 loops, best of 3: 203 ns per loop

Shouldn't then this be used to improve the code in src/sage/libs/gap/?
Cause that's what it does, you provide a better implementation for <libgap perm>.sage()
, right?
comment:58 Changed 4 years ago by
Not really, because my method (A) makes use of the fact that one knows the permutation group the element lives in a priori, and (B) does not check the input whatsoever for correctness (and might result in segfaults if not used properly).
The first is an issue because <libgap perm>
does not know which parent a gap permutation lives in (and neither does gap iirc), while the second might be neglected in case we expect that we always get something reasonable fromo gap.
comment:59 Changed 4 years ago by
OK, I see. Still, libgap should be using the low-level C array with GAP permutation data, rather than converting GAP list -> Sage list -> PermutationGroupElement? (creating, if needed, a parent permutation group along the way, no?)
I don't understand whether this involves calling pexpect GAP or not.

What involved pexpect GAP? This creation of a PermutationGroupElement
? Then the answer is no, there is no gap object attached by default to a PermutationGroupElement
.

OK, thanks - it's not immediately clear with all that methods using _gap_
in that class.
Anyhow, I don't understand why libGAP creates PermutationGroupElement
rather than
a Permutation
.
It would be natural to me to have this as the default,
mostly as it does not involve constructing a parent (GAP permutations don't really have parents in GAP, they are all in every SymmetricGroup()
of degree at least LargestMovedPoint()
of the permutation.
Then your hack can be used for fast libgap->Sage conversion of permutations.
comment:62 Changed 4 years ago by

I agree, this would get down the speed quite a bit
sage: P = PermutationGroup([(1,2),(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)]) sage: l = [8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1] sage: %timeit P(l, check=False) The slowest run took 7.58 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached. 10000 loops, best of 3: 44.3 µs per loop sage: %timeit Permutation(l, check_input=False) The slowest run took 7.85 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached. 100000 loops, best of 3: 6.74 µs per loop
but my hack would not work in this case because it uses the c structure underlying PermutationGroupElement
which doesn't exist (caution: haven't rechecked!) for Permutation
, and this hack is possibly still an order of magnitude faster
sage: one = P.one() sage: %timeit one._generate_new(l) The slowest run took 128.70 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached. 1000000 loops, best of 3: 241 ns per loop

Yes, absolutely great! As I see it, the new __iter_alt_
method is now faster then __iter__
in all cases, right? Therefore I propose to replace __iter__
with the __iter_alt__
before puuting this ticket on review.
comment:70 Changed 4 years ago by
No, not quite. The new __iter_alt__
is still slower for small groups (size ~ <500 elts). I still propose to use ___iter_alt__
per default, but leave the option to use the brute force iteration if desired (in case you want to loop through many small groups.
The issue is that if the group is really small, waiting even for a tiny information from libgap
is slower than exploring the group directly.

In principle, I think this implementation is a strong improvement to permutation groups in Sage, and since I am not very good in optimizing in cython, there might a few simple improvements left to be found. I don't think it is ready for a positive review, but it certainly is for a review of the technical details.

I have an idea how it is done via setup.py, but here it's done in some other way, and cannot see any trace anywhere of how and why libgap.so extension gets linked to the correct dynamic library.

Okay, the method move is now finished, setting it back to review. Still open to see (maybe @tscrim?) if there is a "simple" way to further speed _generate_new
and _generate_new_GAP
in permgroup_element

comment:100 Changed 4 years ago by
- Status changed from needs_review to needs_work
Adding # distutils: gap
to src/sage/groups/perm_gps/permgroup_element.pxd
is not correct since permgroup_element.pxd
has nothing to do with libGAP. Only the implementation requires libGAP, so the distutils declaration should be in the .pyx
file.
But really, you should just use #25608 instead and not add # distutils: gap
.

comment:107 Changed 4 years ago by
I don't understand why you're moving things back and forth - don't you want to provide an optimised replacement for GapElement_Permutation
in sage.libs.gap.element
?
comment:108 Changed 4 years ago by
No, I want to obtain an optimized way to create a PermutationGroupElement
from a GapElement_Permutation
given that I have given a permutation group element of the same parent. This thus became a method for PermutationGroupElement
with argument GapElement_List
. In particular, I have this method now for python lists and for gap list.
As a byproduct, one may call this from the one
of the parent if only the parent is given but not the element.
See that this later is indeed slower:
sage: P = PermutationGroup([(1,2),(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)]) sage: one = P.one() sage: perm = libgap.eval('[]') sage: %timeit one._generate_new_GAP(perm) The slowest run took 138.45 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached. 1000000 loops, best of 3: 174 ns per loop sage: %timeit P.one()._generate_new_GAP(perm) The slowest run took 77.00 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached. 1000000 loops, best of 3: 220 ns per loop

So I don't understand the comment about iterations. So I removed it. However, if SGS is not consistent across different computers, we have a problem with doctests. The RES is guaranteed to have a fixed iteration order, so I can only assume the SGS does not have such a guarantee. I changed the doctests to what I needed for them to pass, but I am guessing they will fail for you. If they pass for you and SGS is consistent, then the comment should have been removed anyways.
I made a few other tweaks.

- in the two algorithms, and is not even guaranteed to always - be the same for one of the two.
This now depends on gap behaviour, also I prefer not to guarantee that I will not change the output when changing the implementation. Anyways, if you prefer to remove it, that's fine too.

Commented out code gets removed quite quickly by other people and looks bad to put slower code. The data is in the history if someone wants to look it up.

If a particular version of GAP is consistent, than no comment is necessary (a number of doctests typically change when GAP upgrades). We have never guaranteed an output order for group iteration, so I don't see any point in mentioning it.

Currently, the slow iteration using RecursivelyEnumeratedSet
uses depth first search with generators being the group generators. Which of the following would you prefer:
- Depth or breadth first search ?
- Generators or generators plus their inverses?
I would think that bfs would be a more natural ordering, especially for small groups that you actually look at and see how the Cayley graph is propagated. Using also inverses is another question and I don't actually have a preference. Sometimes generating sets for Cayley graphs are expected to also contain inverses, sometimes not.

while you are at it, could you fix the doc for PermutationGroupElement?
It appears that what you get from sage: PermutationGroupElement?
has not made it into the corresponding rst file, e.g. it's not possible to see an example with an explicit parent in the reference manual (in section http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/reference/groups/sage/groups/perm_gps/permgroup_element.html)
Also, an example with an explicit parent out to be given in Examples, not in Tests only.

sage: G = SymmetricGroup(4).algebra(QQ) sage: G.retract_plain(G.an_element(), 3) - () + 2*(1,2) + ()

I agree there is some risk, but a good review should be checking that it is just an order difference. So generically, I would say your concern is misplaced. However, I am very worried there is an order dependency on the machine, which means we have write more annoying doctests (i.e., calling sorted
a lot).

I have rebased it to 8.4.beta1 and over #26045. However, let's let this run on some patchbots to see if there is any machine dependency (in addition, if some of the other people here can do so). If there are no doctest failures, then we are safe to assume the SGS iterator is not machine dependent. With that, I would be okay setting a positive review.

Since #26225 is now in Sage, those doctest should essentially be sorted (or given by a fixed ordering). So this should fix those. Also you were missing a blank line in one of the book tests.

I suspect that is just a leftover from the test not being run. I doubt it is machine-dependent, so the fix I just pushed should take care of it.

Can you have a look at the patchbot output: Python3 incompatible code inserted on 1 non-empty lines. Also, tests fail
sage -t --long src/sage/geometry/polyhedron/ppl_lattice_polytope.py # 1 doctest failed

That is libGAP code on that line (comes from the libgap.function_factory("""
), so it is not Python3 incompatible.
Also, tests fail
sage -t --long src/sage/geometry/polyhedron/ppl_lattice_polytope.py # 1 doctest failed
I think I forgot to run the --long
when I checked this locally (and so I concluded that it was a spurious patchbot fault). However, I did confirm this locally. It seems like the group is too large to pass to libgap:
sage: libgap(aut) # the group from the test in question python2: libgap.c:184: libgap_get_input: Assertion `strlen(libGAP_stdin_buffer) < length' failed.
It has 1152 generators! However gap
handles this fine.
So I just reverted the first change on comment:115, and that seems to fix the problem. I can see how that is more safe as I am surprised libgap
is passing things by strings. Which might account for the fact that @stumpc5 and me got different timing results.

Its the Weyl group of F4...
libgap is passing by strings but there is an assumption that it fits into a certain buffer. This could be fixed...
comment:158 Changed 4 years ago by
Why on Earth one generates all the 1152 elements of W(F_4)? This looks like something really weird in the implementation...

Right, but the computation uses all of the elements as generators, which is what makes it blowout the buffer.
libgap is passing by strings but there is an assumption that it fits into a certain buffer. This could be fixed...
I agree, but this is the less invasive (and easier) change. Ideally a PermutationGroup
and its elements would directly construct the object in libgap using the C data structures.
comment:160 Changed 4 years ago by
That change annoyingly causes the output order to change... So, should we fix the output order (again) or revert 1a85742 and do a more proper fix of the libgap interface?
comment:161 Changed 4 years ago by
What exactly is happening in the latest commit? Do you mean to say that before it
libgap(bla)
, for bla
a permutation group, caused all the elements of bla
to be listed?! If so, this was certainly a bug.
comment:162 Changed 4 years ago by
No, I am saying that libgap(bla)
and libgap.Group(bla.gens())
results in a different iteration order (at least in Sage) of the group elements.

Replying to tscrim:
So I don't understand the comment about iterations. So I removed it. However, if SGS is not consistent across different computers, we have a problem with doctests. The RES is guaranteed to have a fixed iteration order, so I can only assume the SGS does not have such a guarantee. I changed the doctests to what I needed for them to pass, but I am guessing they will fail for you. If they pass for you and SGS is consistent, then the comment should have been removed anyways.
SGS is often computed with a randomisation involved, and so one cannot guarantee the same chain of subgroups across different runs on the same machine. If you fix the base to be used, you'd have less variance, but still there could be randomisation involved in choosing the ordering of the base elements.
We should not tweak algorithms in order to make testing easier, we should tweak tests, anyway.
What is RES?

comment:166 Changed 4 years ago by
I've just updated the doctests to reflect the change in ordering (or remove the dependence on the ordering). So if the patchbots come back green, I think we can set this back to a positive review (that should be reasonable enough confirmation that the doctest outputs are not machine-dependent).
comment:167 Changed 4 years ago by
One green patchbot and one almost green. I don't see how the error in computing the volume of a polytope could be caused by this ticket, so I suspect it is an unrelated failure.

Let us get this in. The polyhedral computation stuff done, as in the doctest in question, over RDF, is dodgy anyway (more so as it is done on PPC64, of all platforms), and I don't see how it can have anything to do with this ticket.

It actually is not machine-dependent, it was just not tested by the patchbots because it is marked with an optional gap package to make sure there were no others (well, there was one also marked with magma, but I cannot test that one).
comment:176 Changed 4 years ago by
I don't think this is a right fix. Any new version of GAP might mess this up... How about
sage: set(list(P)) {(), (2,3), (1,2), (1,2,3), (1,3,2), (1,3)}
or
sage: sorted(list(P)) [(), (2,3), (1,2), (1,2,3), (1,3,2), (1,3)]

I think that is part of the point of the doctest, that it is different. If you insist, I will change it to truncation, but I also believe that suggests a much larger numerical instability than is actually present.
comment:186 Changed 4 years ago by
IMHO it is not an instability, it is an artefact of naive computing with finite precision, i.e. accumulation of a rounding error.

Okay, that is not quite the right terminology. It still suggests that there is significantly more variation in the doctest than what it really has. However, I changed it because I want this to get in and don't want it cut from the next stable release.

It rather illustrates that RDF is not a field, and that it isn't even commutative... There could be more variation coming from a yet another CPU used. E.g. if you have a better FPU then you might get closer to the correct value, which would again break the doctest if it had too much numerical noise left.
