Description (last modified by )
Subject says it all.
Previous (no longer up-to-date) description was:
In computing functional derivative, one needs to vary a functional. For example, in sage-3.4 one can do as follows
sage: f(x) = function('f',x) sage: df(x) = function('df',x) sage: g = f(x).diff(x) sage: g diff(f(x), x, 1) sage: g.subs_expr(f(x)==f(x)+df(x)) diff(f(x) + df(x), x, 1)
In new symbolics, if I do the same I get
sage: g D[0](f)(x) sage: g.subs_expr(f(x)==f(x)+df(x)) D[0](f)(x)
From #11842, the list of what does/doesn't work:
from sage.all import * # 1. Fails. x = var('x') f = function('f', x) g = function('g', x) p = f print p.substitute_function(f, g) # Outputs "f(x)" # 2. Fails. x = var('x') f = function('f') g = function('g') p = f(x) print p.substitute_function(f(x), g(x)) # Outputs "f(x)" # 3. Works. x = var('x') f = function('f') g = function('g') p = f(x) print p.substitute_function(f, g) # Outputs "g(x)" # 4. Fails. x = var('x') f = function('f') g = function('g') p = f(1) print p.substitute_function(f(1), g(1)) # Outputs "f(1)" # 5. Works. x = var('x') f = function('f') g = function('g') p = f(1) print p.substitute_function(f, g) # Outputs "g(1)" # 6. Fails. x = var('x') f = function('f', x) g = function('g', x) p = f.diff() print p.substitute_function(f, g) # Outputs "D[0](f)(x)" # 7. Fails. x = var('x') f = function('f', x) g = function('g', x) p = f.diff() print p.substitute_function(f(x), g(x)) # Outputs "D[0](f)(x)" # 8. Works. x = var('x') f = function('f') g = function('g') p = f(x).diff() print p.substitute_function(f, g) # Outputs "D[0](g)(x)" # 9. Fails. x = var('x') f = function('f') g = function('g') p = f(x).diff()(1) print p.substitute_function(f(x).diff(), g(x).diff()) # Outputs "D[0](f)(1)" # 10. Works.. x = var('x') f = function('f') g = function('g') p = f(x).diff()(1) print p.substitute_function(f, g) # Prints D[0](g)(1).

.substitute_function

One of the cases in #11842 that used to crash now works, but a lot of them still don't. I updated the list.

I feel like if that one is closed, we should have the list here, so I'm updating the description.

I think these are different issues because substitute_function
handles a narrowly defined set of cases, and it expects two functions (f, g, sin
) not expressions (f(x), diff(f(x),x)
) as function arguments. Cases above that are in the former category:
sage: f = function('f')(x) ....: g = function('g')(x) ....: df = f(x).diff(x) sage: f.substitute_function(f,g) f(x) sage: f(1).substitute_function(f,g) f(1) sage: df.substitute_function(f,g) diff(f(x), x) sage: df(1).substitute_function(f,g) D[0](f)(1)
The problem is that f
and g
are not function objects like sin
. Taking this into account:
sage: f.substitute_function(f.operator(), g.operator()) g(x) sage: f(1).substitute_function(f.operator(), g.operator()) g(1) sage: df.substitute_function(f.operator(), g.operator()) diff(g(x), x) sage: df(1).substitute_function(f.operator(), g.operator()) D[0](g)(1)
I opened #22401 for this.

Also, even if subs
is fixed there is no way atm to get and use diff(f(x)+g(x),x)
:
sage: diff(f(x)+g(x),x) diff(f(x), x) + diff(g(x), x) sage: diff(f(x)+g(x),x,hold=True) TypeError: derivative() got an unexpected keyword argument 'hold'
diff
is not a function, although it could well be theoretically:
sage: diff(f(x),x) diff(f(x), x) sage: _._dbgprinttree() fderivative f @0x34a8c00, hash=0x1023d75fb40091, flags=0xb, nops=1, params=0 x (symbol) @0x2895f10, serial=7, hash=0xe3706ef, flags=0xf, domain=0, iflags=0000000000000000 ===== sage: diff(f(x),x) diff(f(x), x) sage: _.operator() D[0](f) sage: type(_) <class 'sage.symbolic.operators.FDerivativeOperator'>
I cannot see why diff(f(x)+g(x),x,hold=True)
should be supported so I'm not opening a ticket. Just don't expect that as output from a fixed subs
.
comment:10 Changed 5 years ago by
So, what should work is
sage: f = function('f') sage: g = function('g') sage: f(x).subs(f(x) == g(x)) g(x) sage: f(x).subs(f == g) g(x) sage: f(x).subs({f : g}) g(x) sage: df = f(x).diff(x); df diff(f(x), x) sage: df.subs(f(x) == g(x)) diff(g(x), x) sage: df.subs(f == g) diff(g(x), x) sage: df.subs(f(x) == f(x) + g(x)) diff(f(x), x) + diff(g(x), x) sage: df.subs(f == f + g) diff(f(x), x) + diff(g(x), x)
but it mostly doesn't:

The above consists of three problems. The central one is the failure to f(x).subs(f(x) == g(x))
; the diff
case is probably only a result; it looks like this is a Pynac bug, and when fixed there it should be doctested here.
The second is the failure of f(x).subs({f : g})
. Maybe we can delegate to substitute_function
if the dict key/val pair consists of function objects.
The third is that f+g
already bails out. But SR('f')+SR('g')
does not so this would be a workaround.

Nah, it was wrong, only diff(f(x),x).subs(f(x) == g(x))
doesn't work.

Replying to rws:
The above consists of three problems. The central one is the failure to
f(x).subs(f(x) == g(x))
; thediff
case is probably only a result; it looks like this is a Pynac bug, and when fixed there it should be doctested here.
The special status of fderivative
in Pynac (not a function) may be the reason, see also https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sage-support/lZ4AjbmvvQE/-BJ_xvMlAQAJ

I duped this in #11842. We might be able to make use of the test cases there when this gets fixed.
